15 years after the horrendous Shopian rape and murder, the Indian state continues to erase our memory, and target the whistleblowers and HRD’s. Khurram Parvez and JKCCS who were instrumental in documenting the heinous crime have been shut down by the occupation machinery and the doctors who performed their duty suspended.

Members of ‘Majlis-e-Mashawrat’ Shopian that spearheaded the fight for justice and remembrance have been hounded and silenced.

Indian state has always chosen witch-hunt victims, mourners and silence voices into submission.

This is a reminder to the world, that India is a fascist power masquerading as a democracy.

However it is the people under occupation be it in Gaza or Kashmir who have made the choice to remember, resist, and fight occupation and erasure.
