On s’est aperçu que les violences d’État qui avaient lieu dans des contextes proches de nous, en G-B, aux É-U ou en Grèce, pouvaient bénéficier d’un éclairage qui mobiliserait les techniques et approches développées pour des situations de conflits armés. Tout cela est en lien direct avec la #militarisation de la #police dans le Nord global, que ce soit au niveau des #armes utilisées ou des #stratégies employées pour maintenir l’ordre. #racisme #violencespolicieres #Index https://seenthis.net/messages/1013195

The ‘half negative’ and other graphic memories of legendary Kashmiri photojournalist Meraj Ud Din

His rich archive of images bears painful witness to decades of strife as the territory endures a new era of censorship and erasure, writes Freny Maneckshaw.

Narendra Modi Is Using Brutal Repression to Silence the People of Kashmir

For decades, the Indian state has suppressed the democratic rights of Kashmiris. Narendra Modi’s hard-right government is taking this pattern of repression to new extremes, with the complicity of Indian intellectuals who seek to toxify the cause of Kashmir.

Backstory: Revisiting the Ruins of Kashmir’s Media Ahead of the Fourth Anniversary of August 5

A combination of media manipulation and military mobilisation marked those early days. As additional reinforcements of security forces were marched in to complement the estimated 700,000 Indian armed personnel permanently stationed in Kashmir (and this may be a gross underestimation), there was a media gag so impenetrable, so sudden, so cynical, so ruthless, that the entire region was blindsided.

A tourist’s Kashmir diary: Majestic mountains framed by barbed wire

People who have nothing to do with politics, leave alone nursing thoughts of azaadi, are traumatised in a way that we will not even begin to understand.

In Kashmir, Respect for National Symbols Cannot Be Commanded By Fear

The Centre's relationship with J&K is not a humane one. It is a relationship of the strong and the weak. When the weak cannot scream, they register their resistance by remaining silent.

Gen. Kamal Gunaratne inaugurates the 2nd stage of Deegawapiya restoration project: The second stage of the Deegawapiya Stupa restoration project was launched by placing a symbolic Stupa brick by General Kamal Gunaratne, the ‘Author of the Deegawapiya Aruna Trust’ and ‘First Trustee’, at the Deegawapiya premises, on July 10.

This is a another instant of close collaboration of Sri Lanka military and the Buddhist establishment, observers say.

Interview: PDP President Mehbooba Mufti's take on Kashmir's plight, India's current situation and more

"Kashmir is no longer for Kashmiris. All the big contracts are being given to outsiders, to businessmen from Gujarat and Haryana and such places. Our businesses cannot match their wealth, so they are now subcontractors to outsiders. From sand to the big discovery of lithium, everything is being handed over to outsiders. And in a corrupt fashion. Apart from everything else, this is also the most corrupt government."

Kashmir: Waqf Board Coercing Takeover of Local Mosques and Shrines, Alleges Mutahida Majlis-e-Ulama

The body urged the board to desist from “pursuing this agenda” and instead provide assistance and support to local centres and Masjid committees to let them flourish independently.

Appel commun au #rassemblement contre le #SNU, le 31 mai à 14h au rectorat d'Amiens.

L'émancipation de la jeunesse ne passera pas par sa #militarisation, mais par sa révolte !

@LDH_Fr "Au-delà de l’organisation, c’est l’influence de l’#armée dans les établissements scolaires qui inquiète une syndicaliste reçue par Sarah El Haïry, cette semaine. Elle regrette une « #militarisation du #lycée ». « C’est moins l’#ÉducationNationale qui entre dans l’armée que la discipline militaire et sa symbolique qui s’immiscent dans l’Éducation nationale », conclut-elle."

#SNU #alerte #militarisation du #lycee « classes d’engagement » thématiques 12 jours sur temps scolaire ; ces #élèves de seconde porteront l’uniforme, participeront à la levée des couleurs et chanteront La Marseillaise chaque matin. Ceux qui acceptent cette option seront récompensés sur #Parcoursup. Les #professeurs à l’initiative de cette classe « d’engagement » seront, eux, récompensés financièrement grâce au « Pacte » que #Macron annonçait le 20 avril.
