Former CM Mehbooba Mufti releases after a year in Jammmu Kashmir

Mehbooba Mufti
Indian authorities released a top Kashmiri politician from detention more than a year.

After New Delhi scrapped Indian-controlled Kashmir’s special status, a move that triggered widespread anger and economic ruin amid a harsh security clampdown.

Mehbooba Mufti had been held in detention since August 2019 alongside thousands of politicians and activists after Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government passed legislation in Parliament that stripped Jammu and Kashmir’s statehood, annulled its separate constitution and removed inherited protections on land and jobs.

In an audio message posted Tuesday on Twitter, Mufti called India's August 5, 2019, action a "black decision on a black day.” None among us can ever forget the political heist and insult on that day, Mufti said.
