Srinagar: On May 26, it was reported that Indian security forces had killed six separatists in Kashmir in the past 24 hours. A New Delhi court on Wednesday ordered life in jail for Kashmiri separatist leader Yasin Malik for funding “terrorist” activities and many other crimes. The sentencing sparked warnings from politicians that it would promote alienation and separatism in India’s only Muslim-majority region. Shops and businesses in Kashmir remained closed for the second day of protesting against the verdict. The police have detained 10 people for throwing stones and for sloganeering outside Malik’s residence.
