UN deeply concerned over Kashmir restrictions

(UTV|COLOMBO) – The UN has said the latest restrictions imposed on Indian-administered Kashmir are deeply concerning and “will exacerbate the human rights situation”.

A UN spokesperson highlighted a telecommunications ban, the arbitrary detention of leaders and a ban on political assembly.

The region has been on lockdown since Sunday with communication cut off.

It came as India made the controversial decision to remove its special constitutional status.
