INDIAN REGIME DENIES BAIL TO INSHA JAN, JAILED AS A TEENAGER FOR SUPPORTING KASHMIRI FREEDOM, AS INDIGENOUS RESISTANCE TO OCCUPATION IS CRIMINALISED
ALLNEWS


The Indian regime has denied bail to Insha Jan, a Kashmiri woman who was arrested as a teenager following the Pulwama attack in 2019 alongside her father, on charges the Indian regime alleges relate to aiding those connected to the attack and participation in what it describes as an anti-Indian conspiracy. She had been photographed with commanders linked to Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM), which the Indian regime used as partial justification for her arrest and continued detention.
Insha Jan has been imprisoned for years for what amounts, in documented terms, to her association with and support for the Kashmiri resistance to Indian occupation. She is one of the most high-profile Kashmiri women jailed in recent years for their political convictions, joining a long and documented line of Kashmiri women, from Aasiya Andrabi to the women of Sopore and Pulwama targeted under the PSA and UAPA, who have been imprisoned for refusing to accept the Indian regime's authority over their land and their people.
Kashmir Conflict states the foundational point that the Indian regime's legal framework is designed to obscure. Kashmir is a disputed and occupied territory. The UN has recognised it as such. The Kashmiri people's resistance to their occupation is not terrorism under international law. It is the documented and internationally recognised right of an indigenous people to resist military occupation. An occupying power has no legitimate authority to classify that resistance as criminal, to imprison those who support it as terrorists, and to deny bail to a woman who was a teenager when she was arrested for standing on the side of her own people's freedom. India has no standing to make these determinations in a territory it does not legitimately govern. Insha Jan's imprisonment is not justice. It is the occupation punishing a Kashmiri for being Kashmiri.
