Bloggers on the catch list


As the indian forces in Indian Occupied Kashmir are on a killing spree in which they killed around 15 young kashmiri's of age group 9-25yrs including a female, the state police had decided to go against the blogger's mostly the user's of the most accessed social networking site Facebook. Since last few days police is tracking down the bloggers who have been trying to make the world come across the truth about indian brutalities in this disputed territory and asking them to report to the police stations and in some cases arresting them. The Central and State Govt. seems to be frustrated how the people have been trying to reach out the world and make them hear thr voices. As noticed recently almost 45% of the facebooker's from the valley had changed their profile pictures to "I PROTEST," which seems to have freaked out the indian state.

The people of this disputed territory at this point of time are being terrorized on every front possible, to suppress their genuine voice, the voice for justice, voice for freedom. On the one hand the so called security agencies have been arresting the protesters on the other-hand indian media is playing dirty tricks to divert the attention of the people while the state media was put on a stand still and now the state police is trying to close on the e-protester's. The state police has blamed many Facebook user's of instigating violence and had slapped harsh cases against the youth as 'waging war against state.' In the words of one such blogger he said." I received a call Saturday evening,” a face book user, who was booked by police In Islamabad town, told rising Kashmir. “The person wanted to meet me. I mistook him as my friend. I told him we can meet after strikes and curfews are over”.

As the face book user declined to meet, the caller insisted he should come to lalchowk (Islamabad).
“Or else he said he would come to my home,” the Facebook user said.
Later, on inquiring by the user, the caller identified himself as a Police officer.

“He told me an FIR has been registered against me in Islamabad police station,” the face book user said.
The Facebook user said he was told that he was charged of “provoking people” for doing anti-state activities.
“Police officer told me you are very active on Facebook. And you are uploading images and videos that instigate violence against state,” the user said.

After half an hour, the user said, he received another call from Station House Officer Islamabad Police station.
“He told me that FIR has been registered against me,” the user said. “ I got shocked, I told both the officers I was writing and uploading truth. There was no images or text that could have instigated violence”.
From then onwards, the user evading arrest.

“I am not reporting to police station since they would at least keep me detained for six days” he said. “Somebody told me they have slapped harsh acts against me. The acts incriminate me in waging war against state”.
The facebook user said apart from him few more people have also been called by police.
The incident has raised a widely held suspicion in Kashmir that Facebook was being monitored by police and other security agencies

SSP Islamabad Showkat Malik when asked about the face book scrutiny said, “ I have no idea about it”.

The Facebook is a very popular social networking site which provides people a platform to exchange and share ideas and upload pictures and videos.

God Help people of Kashmir
