A cycle of violence has erupted again in India's troubled Kashmir valley since 11th June 2010 with the shooting to death of a schoolboy by Indian troops. Until 29th June 2010, eleven Kashmiri youths have been killed by the heavily armed Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF). The Indian authorities have imposed a curfew and deployed thousands of troops in Kashmir's main towns in an effort to restore order in the volatile Muslim-majority province, which is at the center of a decades-old sovereignty dispute between India and neighboring Pakistan. The latest wave of trouble began on June 11, 2010 when a seventeen-year-old Kashmiri youth, Tufail Ahmad Mattoo died after he was hit by a teargas shell fired by the police during a routine post-Friday prayers protest in downtown in Srinagar. His death sparked angry clashes between stone-pelting youths and the heavily armed CRPF. On June 19, Rafiq Ahmad Bangaroo, 27, who was beaten up by CRPF men near his residence in old Srinagar on June 12, died in hospital. The next day, mourners returning from Bangaroo's burial attacked a CRPF mobile bunker with stones. They were reciprocated with fire, killing Bangaroo's neighbour Javaid Ahmad Malla, 26, and wounding three others. On June 25, Shakeel Ganai, 17, and Firdous Khan, 18, were killed by CRPF men in Sopore. On June 27, Bilal Ahmed Wani, 22, died following the firing in Sopore. On June 28, Tajamul Bashir, 20, and Tauqeer Rather, 9, were killed in Delina and Sopore. On June 29, Ishtiyaq Ahmed, 15, Imtiyaz Ahmed Itoo, 17, and Shujaat-ul-Islam, 17, died in a CRPF firing in the southern town of Anantnag. This cycle of 11 killings in less than three weeks by the police and paramilitary forces across Kashmir is a gross violation of human rights conducted by the Indian government against the people of Kashmir. The chief minister, Omar Abdullah has resorted to imposing a curfew to curtail street protests from spreading further. More information here IHRC
