The Amnesty International has asserted that revoking Indian occupied Kashmir's special status is likely to increase the risk of further human rights violations and inflame tensions.
In a statement on Twitter, the Amnesty International said, “The unilateral decision by Government of India to revoke Jammu and Kashmir's special status without consulting J&K stakeholders, amidst a clampdown on civil liberties & communications blackout is likely to increase the risk of further human rights violations & inflame tensions.”
The Indian government on Monday stripped occupied Kashmir of the special autonomy it has had for seven decades, prompting a furious response from Pakistan and raising fears of fierce reaction in the Muslim-majority region.
