Srinagar: Masrat Zahra, a Kashmiri female photojournalist whose work has been published by reputed news organisations, has been booked by J&K police under Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA) for “uploading anti-national” posts on social media.

“Cyber police received information through reliable sources that one Facebook user namely Masrat Zahra is uploading anti national posts with criminal intention to induce the youth and to promote offences against public tranquillity,” read a statement from Cyber police station in Kashmir on Monday.

It said that Zahra is “also believed to be uploading photographs which can provoke the public to disturb law and order.’

“The user is also uploading posts that tantamount to glorify the anti-national activities and dent the image of law enforcing agencies besides causing disaffection against the country,” read the statement.

The cyber police station has registered the case (FIR no. 10/2020 U/S 13 UA (P) Act and 5050-IPC dated 18-04-20120) against the scribe and “set investigation into motion.”

While the RSS goons can post any kind of crap, any kind of threats and yet not a single one is even warned. They even threaten foreigners of rape and murder and yet nothing happens but a muslim journalist uploads photos and suddenly its a big danger to the state.

She looks like a native kashmiri
 
She looks like a native kashmiri

Yes, she is a native Kashmiri... Her work has appeared in multiple national and international publications including The Washington Post, The New Humanitarian, TRT World, Al Jazeera, The Caravan etc.... This stupid action by the Indian authorities is already being condemned by journalists in IOK, India and other countries.
