Kashmir Press Under Siege: Summons and Forced Bonds

0
395

Journalists in Jammu & Kashmir face intensifying pressure, routinely summoned to police stations and counter-insurgency centers like "Cargo" for interrogation. Authorities demand answers about confidential sources and editorial decisions. In a disturbing development, reporters are even forced to sign legal bonds promising not to publish any reports deemed to "breach the peace," effectively silencing critical voices.

This systemic harassment creates a chilling effect on press freedom, threatening independent reporting in the region and leaving journalists vulnerable to further intimidation. Bharataawaz investigates this attack on the media.
