Русская версияHundreds of thousands of protestors have massed in Indian Kashmir's
main city to demand freedom from New Delhi's rule.
The mainly
Muslim demonstrators attended a rally in the city of Srinagar,
carrying banners with the word "azadi" or freedom, and chanting
anti-Indian slogans. Separatist leader Shabir Shah said Kashmiris
wanted to show the world that they want to split from India. The
rally ended peacefully but clashes between protestors and security
forces in the Muslim-dominated Kashmir valley have led to the
deaths of 23 people over the past two weeks.
