The Indian regime in occupied Kashmir has sealed the Srinagar office of the respected local English newspaper Kashmir Times, the latest move in its efforts to crush any dissenting voices. Heinous though, it is not surprising that an illegal and illegitimate regime is taking illegal actions against citizens that dare to speak up. Indeed, some media outlets flatly repeated the local administration’s claims that the keys to the properties were handed over willingly, without even taking valuables and office materials inside. Other opposition leaders, some of whom have previously been targets of critique from the paper, also defended it for its fairness and consistency.
