Kashmir has remained under lockdown since August 5, 2019, when India revoked its special status. Thousands of people have been detained and over 8 million Kashmiris have little access to the outside world.
Pakistan and India have competing claims on the longstanding Jammu and Kashmir issue. Both claim the region in full but rule on parts of it.
