Srinagar: Kashmiris on both sides of the Line of Control and across the world are observing the martyrdom anniversary of Muhammad Afzal Guru today amid an atmosphere of heightened military siege, arbitrary arrests, and intensified crackdowns by Indian occupation forces in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
According to Global Mirror, Muhammad Afzal Guru was hanged in New Delhi’s Tihar Jail on February 9, 2013, in what legal experts and human rights defenders have consistently described as a judicial killing carried out to appease India’s majoritarian political sentiment rather than to serve justice. The execution, conducted in secrecy and without prior notice to his family, remains a dark blot on India’s claims of democracy and rule of law.
