Indian army enforce Kashmir curfew after deaths
Thursday, 8 July 2010
SRINAGAR, July 7 (AFP): Indian army soldiers joined police and paramilitary troops enforcing a curfew across much of Kashmir Wednesday, a day after three protesters were killed.
The two men and one woman died when security personnel opened fire to contain angry separatist demonstrations that have been fuelled by the deaths of several protesters over the last month.
Curfew orders have been widely ignored in recent days, and the presence of the Indian army was seen as a show of force designed to end the increasingly violent protests.
