Newspaper ban
''Kashmir Reader'' was indefinitely banned for being ‘critical of India’ by Indian authorities on September 30 during
2016 Kashmir uprising. It was asked to stop publication on the evening of Sunday, October 2. The daily was accused of publishing material that "tends to incite acts of violence" and “disturb public peace and tranquility”. Human rights group
Amnesty International said the ban was a "setback to free speech" and called on authorities to revoke the order. The "order does not specifically mention any news items in Kashmir Reader that incited violence," said Aakar Patel, executive director, Amnesty International India. On 28 December, the newspaper resumed publication after the government lifted the ban after nearly three months.
