Human rights abuses in Kashmir

Human rights abuses in Kashmir refer to violations of the fundamental rights of individuals living in the region, primarily due to the ongoing conflict between India and Pakistan over its territorial status. Reports indicate issues such as excessive use of force by security forces, enforced disappearances, arbitrary detentions, and restrictions on freedom of expression. Civilians often face violence and displacement. International organizations have called for investigations and accountability, highlighting the need for the protection of human rights amid the persistent instability in this contested area.
