On this day in 2019, India unilaterally and illegally stripped Jammu & Kashmir of its special status. Six years on, this action continues to be rejected by Kashmiris, Pakistan, and the international community. The voices and aspirations of the Kashmiri people cannot be silenced. Peace demands justice and the right to self-determination.

What does mean when journalists in IIOJK can be jailed for a tweet, a photo, a paragraph?
Today we amplify the voices forced into silence.

The life sentence handed to Asiya Andrabi has once again exposed how political voices in Indian-Occupied Jammu & Kashmir are being silenced instead of heard. Our video highlights why this decision matters—not just for one woman, but for every Kashmiri who continues to demand dignity, justice, and the right to shape their own future.

At a time when women leaders are being punished for speaking their truth, the world must not look away. Kashmir’s call for freedom and self-determination cannot be erased, no matter how many verdicts attempt to restrain it.

Watch the video and stand with the people of Kashmir.

The verdict against Asiya Andrabi marks yet another moment where the demand for dignity, justice, and the undeniable right of Kashmiris to determine their own future is met with repression rather than dialogue. Turning a political voice into a criminal offence through laws like UAPA reflects a troubling pattern that shrinks the democratic space and undermines the very principles of human rights.

At a time when Kashmiris continue to live under an environment of restrictions, surveillance, and suppression, this decision reinforces how voices—especially those advocating for identity, freedom, and political expression—are being pushed further to the margins. Yet history shows that no sentence, no ban, and no prison walls can extinguish the collective aspiration of a people who seek a life of honour and self-determination.

The global community must recognise that silencing Kashmiri women leaders and rights advocates deepens the crisis rather than resolving it. The call for justice cannot be suppressed; it continues to rise from every corner of a land that has endured generations of political and human rights violations.

Strength, patience, and resistance define the women of Indian-Occupied Jammu and Kashmir. Their struggle for justice remains a powerful reminder of why human rights must never be ignored.
