2016–2017 Kashmir unrest
The 2016–2017 Kashmir unrest refers to a series of protests, clashes, and violence in the Indian-administered Jammu and Kashmir region, ignited by the killing of militant leader Burhan Wani by Indian security forces on July 8, 2016. Wani's death triggered widespread condemnation and civil disobedience, resulting in prolonged disturbances across the Valley. The unrest was characterized by mass protests, stone-pelting incidents, and violent confrontations between demonstrators and security personnel. The Indian government responded with heavy security measures, including a curfew and internet shutdowns. The turmoil highlighted longstanding political grievances, separatist sentiments, and issues of human rights in the region, leading to significant local and international attention.
