Kashmiri Leaders Released From Detention Are Silent On Article 370 scroll.in

Over four months after August 5, when the Centre scrapped special status for Jammu and Kashmir under Article 370 and split the state into two Union Territories, most of the Valley’s pro-India leadership remains behind bars.

As of now, 33 leaders of the Kashmiri mainstream, as those who take part in electoral politics are called, remain incarcerated at the MLA Hostel in Srinagar. Three former chief ministers of Jammu and Kashmir are also held at different locations. There’s no official number for mainstream leaders who have been kept under house arrest.
