Please find the Kashmir Scholars Consultative and Action Network (KSCAN) public statement regarding the March 2023 arrests of Kashmiri human rights defenders Irfan Mehraj and Khurram Parvez at this link.
The current case explicitly criminalizes, under counter-terror law, human rights documentation and reporting and explicitly targets Jammu & Kashmir Coalition of Civil Society (JKCCS) as a human rights organization.
We ask scholars, journalists, and activists to please sign this statement as individual signatories. Please circulate this request to other potential signatories.
