peterms Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 So the first ever air conflict between nuclear powers seems to be de-escalating without plunging us into nuclear winter. Where's Gavin Williamson when you don't need him? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Credit to Imran Khan. i think young master Gavin is in the playroom, readying himself to put on his big boy trousers and say something important, like “India and Pakistan should go away”. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowychap Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Article 370: India strips disputed Kashmir of special status Quote India's government has revoked the part of the constitution that gives Indian-administered Kashmir special status in an unprecedented move likely to spark unrest. Article 370 is sensitive because it is what guarantees significant autonomy for the Muslim-majority state. ... What has been happening in Kashmir? Indian-administered Kashmir, home to about 12 million people, is in a state of lockdown. Curfew-like conditions have been imposed, and orders preventing the assembly of more than four people have been introduced. Tens of thousands of Indian troops were deployed to the region ahead of Monday's announcement and tourists were told to leave under warnings of a terror threat. The restriction of mobile networks and the internet have added to the sense of crisis and largely cut the region off from the rest of India. In the hours before Monday's announcement, two of the state's former chief ministers - Omar Abdullah and Mehbooba Mufti - were placed under house arrest. ...rest of the article on link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VILLAMARV Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Quote Security forces in Kashmir have abducted hundreds of boys in midnight raids and molested women and girls amid the state's 11-day blackout, a group of Indian economists and activists said in a new report. Regional police, army, and paramilitary forces have raided hundred of homes around the region and arbitrarily snatched "very young schoolboys and teenagers" from their beds from as early as August 5, the investigation — titled "Kashmir Caged" and published Wednesday— said. Those officers also molested women and girls during these nighttime raids, the researchers said, without specifying exactly what their actions were. The report doesn't explicitly say whether those officers were employed by the Kashmiri regional government or the Indian government. However, most police, paramilitary, and army officers in Jammu and Kashmir work under the Indian government. Though the researchers spoke with hundreds of ordinary people — from students to shopkeepers to local journalists — around the state from August 9 and 13 for their report, nobody was willing to speak on camera for fear of persecution from the Indian government, the economists said. Parents were afraid to tell them about their sons' abductions as they didn't want to arrested for disrupting state security. Some worried that their boys would be "disappeared" — killed in custody — because their family had spoken out, the report said. There are no formal records of these arrests, one civilian said, so if someone was killed in custody the police could claim that they were never taken in the first place. One 11-year-old boy in Pampore, a town in western Kashmir, told the researchers he was beaten up during his detention from August 5 to 11, and that there were boys even younger than him in custody. The researchers also said that Kashmiri security forces have been indiscriminately firing pellet guns against civilians, leaving them hospitalized and bleeding internally. https://www.businessinsider.com/kashmir-forces-detaining-kids-molesting-girls-amid-blackout-report-2019-8?r=US&IR=T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
