Русская версияPolice have reportedly shot dead at least ten people in
Indian-administered Kashmir.
Security forces opened fire on
stone-throwing Muslim protesters who had defied a curfew in
Srinagar and other towns in the mainly Muslim Kashmir valley for a
second day. They were opposing a blockade by Hindus of a key
highway that has stranded hundreds of trucks carrying food and
other supplies in and out of the region. Protests and
counter-protests have been taking place for weeks in the Kashmir
valley as well as in the mainly Hindu region around the city of
Jammu further south. The demonstrations in the valley are some of
the biggest since a separatist rebellion against Indian rule broke
out nearly 20 years ago.
