Kashmir Activist, Journalist Freed on Bail After Years in Prison Over Terrorism Financing Charges

Indian authorities have released prominent Kashmiri human rights activist Khurram Parvez and journalist Irfan Mehraj on bail after years in prison on terrorism financing charges despite both remaining under house arrest. They were arrested over a decade ago for allegedly funding separatist groups. The release comes as tensions remain high in the region. The decision is seen as a significant development, but their release is conditional upon certain restrictions being lifted.
