Indian court convicts top Kashmiri pro-freedom leader Mohammed Yasin Malik in 'terrorism' case, angering Pakistan, which slammed New Delhi's 'fabricated charges to suppress voice of indigenous Kashmiris'
JKLF was one of the first armed rebel groups to come into existence in India-administered Kashmir. It supported an independent and united Kashmir. Led by Malik, the group gave up armed rebellion in 1994.
In 1995, then US president Bill Clinton had appointed Robin Raphel as the first Assistant Secretary of State for South Asia who in an event described Kashmir as a dispute and suggested a referendum, angering India. India nullified the area's limited autonomy and annexed it in August 2019, when authorities arrested thousands along with almost all pro-resistance leaders and imposed the world's longest internet shut down, seeking to forestall local opposition to the move.
Today, it is one of the most militarised regions of the world, with more than 500,000 Indian soldiers and paramilitaries deployed across the fractious territory.
