SAVE MONEY ON TRAVEL DEALS

Demonstrations broke out at several locations in Srinagar, with thousands of protesters demanding independence from India and burning tires.

On Friday, a 16-year-old boy was fatally shot in a clash between security forces and protesters who emerged from a mosque chanting anti-Indian slogans and throwing rocks.

The crowd was protesting alleged human rights abuses by security forces, who are widely accused of torturing and killing people they suspect are separatists. Authorities routinely investigate such allegations but prosecutions are rare.

Kashmir is split between Muslim-majority Pakistan and predominantly Hindu India, but claimed by both in entirety. The two sides have fought three wars, including two over Kashmir, since independence from Britain in 1947.

Separatist political groups and nearly a dozen rebel groups reject Indian rule over Kashmir and want to carve out an independent homeland or merge with Pakistan. More than 68,000 people, most of them civilians, have died in the separatist conflict since 1989.
