Freedom, Conditions Apply: Detained J&K Leaders Can't Comment Or Hold Rallies On Art 370 For A Year, Says Bond indiatoday.in

Anew document has come to light that purportedly shows that political detainees in Jammu and Kashmir will now have to sign a bond that forces them to give up the right to hold public speeches concerning 'recent events' in the state, i.e. the abrogation of Article 370 and the subsequent shutdown.

Hundreds of political leaders have been detained in the state since August 5, when the Centre announced the scrapping of Jammu and Kashmir's special status.

In the past few weeks, some detained leaders have been freed but the released leaders have had to sign a bond that forbids them from making any comments, issuing statements, giving public speeches or participating in any public event "related to the recent events in the state of Jammu and Kashmir" for one year.
