In April 2025, Indian authorities continued to commit grave human rights violations in Indian-administered Kashmir (IAK). Indian forces killed at least 13 and arbitrarily detained around 4,000 people. Indian authorities continued their campaign of collective punishment through raids and property expropriation, including through the demolition of homes. Indian authorities continued to deny the right to free expression, including through arbitrary detentions for social media expression and the blocking of at least 200 additional social media accounts. On April 22, Indian authorities announced the killing of 26 people (25 Indians and 1 Kashmiri, Syed Adil Hussain Shah) in Baisaran, escalated a crackdown in IAK, restarted a hot war with Pakistan and suspended the Indus Waters Treaty (1960), a colonial and invalid division of the waters of Jammu and Kashmir between India and Pakistan. Numerous Kashmiri journalists, human rights defenders, political activists, and dissenters continue to be arbitrarily detained. Emblematic cases include those of human rights defender Khurram Parvez—illegally imprisoned for almost three and a half years (1,273 days), journalist Irfan Mehraj—illegally imprisoned for over two years (789 days) and human rights lawyer Mian Abdul Qayoom—illegally imprisoned for almost 11 months (327 days).
