Summary
Another three Kashmiris fell prey to the cruelties of Indian troops while dozens others injured as unrest continues in the Indian-held Kashmir, Dunya News on Wednesday. Police opened fire on a rally in the previously quiet town of Mendhar, about 210 kilometres from the town of Jammu, when the protesters tried to defy the curfew. For three months, young Kashmiris have thrown stones at security forces, defied strict curfews and held anti-India rallies, resulting in clashes that have now left 91 people dead. But since the weekend, the violence has risen in intensity, with mob attacks and arson taking place, apparently fuelled by reports about the desecration of the Quran in Washington on Saturday. Police in Jammu said the crowd had tried to attack a Catholic school in Mendhar.
