The Indian authorities unleashed a fresh spasm of violence despite the fact hat a ceasefire had been announced in the valley for the month of Ramazan.
According to data released by the Kashmir Media Service, Indian troops, in their continued acts of state terrorism, martyred 31 Kashmiris including a woman and six young boys during May 2018.
During the period, 314 people were injured due to the use of brute force including firing of bullets, pellets and teargas shells by the Indian army, paramilitary and police personnel on peaceful protesters.
