“One protester was killed during a march in a village in Shopian district and the other lost his life as violence erupted in a rally in Anantnag district. A curfew and a series of communication blackouts have failed to stop weeks of protests against Indian rule. The latest wave of violence erupted after a popular pro-independence leader was killed by security forces on July eight. At least 70 people have been killed and six-thousand injured in the ensuing clashes. Kashmir is divided between India and Pakistan and is claimed by both.”
