This Kashmiri boy is wearing a homemade mask to play cricket in Srinagar during the coronavirus lockdown. No matter how accustomed Kashmiri kids are to lockdowns, including the more brutal military kind, it must be extremely stressful for them to be forced indoors & not be able to socialize & play sports with their friends.

This is a beautiful photo of 25-year-old Sikh activist Inderjeet Singh who was killed in a car accident on April 20th. He is remembered most, but not solely, for helping Kashmiri students being chased by right-wing goons in Indian cities where they were studying.
May he Rest In Peace.

Kashmiris are paying tribute to 25-year-old Sikh activist Inderjeet Singh, a member of Khalsa Aid who died in a car accident on April 20th after distributing PPE kits to doctors & policeman. He was involved in rescuing hundreds of Kashmiris studying in India when they faced harassment after the 2019 Pulwama incident in which 40 Indian CRPF forces were killed.
May he Rest In Peace after such an honorable life.

This is the cover photo to a video nominated for the 2020 World Press awards about the use by Chilean police of pellet guns & rubber bullets to blind protesters. There have been no international campaigns opposing the use of pellet guns against the 2011 Arab Spring uprising in Bahrain, their use by the Indian occupying army in Kashmir, or the use of Israeli snipers to shoot out the eyes of Palestinian protesters. So it doesn’t take a Nostradamus to predict that inevitably other governments would start employing the same barbarism against protesters. Chilean police are now directly targeting the eyes of protesters to permanently disfigure, disable, & demoralize them because it has been so effective & so unchallenged in Bahrain, Kashmir, & Palestine.
If we do not want this savagery to be adopted by our own governments, we are advised to make a hell of a clamor & organize a systematic political defense opposing the use of pellet guns, rubber bullets, & snipers against unarmed protesters.
