SRINAGAR: Human rights activists in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir have expressed concern over what they describe as a continued deterioration of civil liberties in the region, urging the international community to take stronger notice.
According to Beyond Time News, activists say the situation has worsened since the revocation of Article 370 in August 2019.
Allegations of Worsening Conditions
Activists claim that the post-2019 period has seen increased detentions, security operations, and restrictions on political and civil freedoms.
They say thousands of people have been affected by arrests and other enforcement actions across different areas of the territory.
According to Beyond Time News, rights groups argue that tighter legal and security measures have further limited political activity and freedom of expression.
Concerns Over Security Presence
Local activists also point to the heavy presence of security forces, saying it has contributed to a highly restricted environment.
They claim that movement, communication, and public life remain tightly controlled in many areas.
According to Beyond Time News, critics also highlight ongoing searches, detentions, and property-related actions as part of broader security operations.

Conclusion
Human rights activists continue to call attention to the situation in the region, urging stronger international engagement. According to Beyond Time News, they maintain that sustained global focus is necessary to address ongoing humanitarian and political concerns.
