India arrests nearly 4,000 people after unilateral scrapping of Kashmir's nominal autonomy – official data
Her husband Shameem Ahmad Ganai was arrested during the clampdown on Kashmir by India, Fareeda said as she spoke about her ordeal from her house in Pulwama, south of Srinagar, August 13, 2019.
A spokeswoman for India's Interior Ministry did not respond to a request for comment. Neither did Indian police in the region.It was not clear on what basis most of the people were being held but an Indian official said some were held under the Public Safety Act, a notorious law that allows for detention for up to two years without trial.
India's ruling right-wing Bharatiya Janata Party or BJP said the removal of the status of the disputed region would help integrate it into the Indian economy, to the benefit of all. The report contains data from the 13 police districts that make up the Kashmir Valley, the most populous part of the Himalayan region where the main city of Srinagar is located.
An Indian official said it was likely that more than 1,200 people were still held, including all the high-profile politicians and resistance leaders and activists mentioned in the report, while dozens more are being arrested every day.
