tactics adopted by the armed forces resulting in grave human
rights violations and killings of civilians across Kashmir and

Bandipora and Srinagar’s areas of Nowhatta, Nawab Bazaar, Nalamar
Road and Safa Kadal since Saturday evening. They broke into
houses, beat up inmates and ransacked household belongings,” the

their right to self determination,” it said.
