A profoundly sad story about Dilshada Sheikh who died today after waiting nearly 26 years for her husband Bashir Ahmad Shehikh, a working man picked up by Indian military forces in June 1992 & forcibly disappeared. Dilshada was an active member of the Association of Parents for Disappeared Persons (APDP) since 2010 & regularly participated in their monthly sit-in protests in Srinagar. APDP activists say they will continue to protest on behalf of her husband.

May she Rest In Peace.
