Protests erupt in Srinagar city of India-administered Kashmir after Friday prayers
Protesters shout slogans at a rally against the Indian government's move to strip Kashmir of its autonomy and impose a communications blackout, in Srinagar on August 16, 2019.
Earlier, Indian authorities imposed strict restrictions ahead of Friday prayers to prevent any protests, though the government in New Delhi said curbs on movement and communications will be lifted in the next few days. In some parts of the city, posters appeared calling for protests and asking preachers in mosques to talk about the current situation in Kashmir valley.Thousands protest in London
Many of the London protesters had come to the capital from other English cities on specially chartered buses. India's Prime Minister Modi said the decision to revoke Kashmir's constitutional autonomy and downgrade it from statehood to a territory would free it from "terrorism". Expecting a backlash, New Delhi snapped telecommunications and imposed a curfew in India-administered Kashmir on August 4, a day before its surprise presidential decree to strip the region of its autonomous status.
