Kashmiri rights activist Khurram Parvez has been granted bail by the Delhi High Court after spending nearly five years in Indian custody. Parvez, a prominent voice for human rights in the disputed region of Kashmir, was arrested in 2017 on charges of alleged terrorism links, sparking international outrage and concern over the erosion of civil liberties. His prolonged detention had been widely criticized by human rights organizations, who argued that the charges against him were politically motivated and lacked substantial evidence. Parvez's release on bail marks a significant development in his long-running case, but his supporters continue to demand his full exoneration and an end to the Indian government's crackdown on dissent in Kashmir.
