In the last few days, the Indian Government has shut down phone and internet connections, arbitrarily detained political leaders, evacuated tourists and restricted freedom of movement.\u00a0 It is disturbing to think of the human rights abuses that could be occurring under the cover of this communications blackout, particularly with an influx of tens of thousands of additional troops.
\nThe Indian Government\u2019s decision to revoke Kashmir\u2019s special status and its relative autonomy under India\u2019s constitution will further erode Kashmiris\u2019 right to self-determination.\u00a0 It risks a dangerous escalation of violence in the world\u2019s most militarised region.
\nThe Greens urge the Australian Government to speak out and call on the Indian Government to respect the human rights of the people in Kashmir and their right to self-determination.
