Political experts and Kashmir watchers in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir have said that India has turned the territory into the world’s largest open-air prison, where all political and social rights of the people have been usurped.

According to Kashmir Media Service, political experts and Kashmir watchers in their interviews and statements in Srinagar said that the presence of over one million Indian forces (Army, BSF, Paramilitary and police personnel) deployed across the occupied territory had already made the life of the Kashmiri people a living hell. They said that the continued cordon and search operations, house raids and arresting youth on fake cases brought more mental torture and miseries to the oppressed Kashmiris.

Political experts and Kashmir watchers said occupied Kashmir has become the most militarized zone on the planet, where India has snatched all basic rights of the people, including the right to life. They deplored that the Kashmiris are being killed, tortured and arrested by Indian troops on a daily basis.

A political expert based in Srinagar, on the condition of anonymity to evade reprisal of the Indian authorities, told the media that world rights bodies have already warned of genocide in IIOJK.
