Day 156 (month 5) of the military siege in Kashmir: thousands attend funerals of youth murdered by occupying army; father dies of shock when son is arrested second time under Public Safety Act (indefinite detention without charge); army continues abductions of youth from homes; army continues arresting youth for stone throwing & continues use of pellet guns against protesters & ambulances taking injured to hospital.

Today Reuters published a photo of Muslim youth praying at a religious shrine; the Guardian published a photo of women praying at the same shrine. Media interest in Kashmiri prayer rituals is only exceeded by its fetish with Hindu prayer rituals. No fake news here.

End the occupation. Self-determination for Kashmir.
