Kashmiri photojournalist Dar Yasin has won an international photojournalism award for extraordinary & courageous work covering the Indian occupation. He has also covered the war in Afghanistan & the Rohingya genocide. There are many remarkable Kashmiri photojournalists. Remarkable not just for the high quality of their work but for their courage in covering protests being fired on with pellet guns & live ammo & Indian Army hunt to kill operations. One photojournalist returned home one day to find soldiers surrounding his home, vandalizing it, & terrorizing his wife & small child. They are subjected to censorship on social media, threats, & arrests by Indian occupying forces. We fear some have been arrested under this current siege & blockade.
Please look through the album of Dar Yasin’s work in this article to see the extraordinary character of his work. He & all Kashmiri journalists more than deserve respect & international recognition.
