Kaneeza, a 7-year-old Kashmiri girl was killed last Wednesday by a targeted “stray” bullet from an Indian soldier on a search & execute operation:
“words sound hollower than usual after seeing Kaneeza’s little body lifeless on a jute bag, covered by a warm blanket; someone’s hand cupping her chin as if asking her to wake up. she looks fast asleep and not as if killed by a targeted “stray” indian bullet. kashmiri body, dispensable body, collateral damage but a war crime nevertheless. our outrage doesn’t know any bounds and it shouldn’t fritter at any cost. RIP baby. countdown india.” — Ather Zia
