Meta Restricts Instagram Post on Kashmir Pellet Victim Insha Mushtaq in India
Meta has restricted access in India to an Instagram post about Kashmir pellet victim Insha Mushtaq, citing compliance with India's IT rules. The restriction follows renewed scrutiny of pellet gun use after protests at Jantar Mantar on July 20, with the Supreme Court hearing related petitions. Mushtaq was blinded in 2016 during unrest in Kashmir when security forces fired pellets at protesters. The Jammu and Kashmir government recently announced an LPG dealership for her, marking a decade since her injury.
