#India #Kashmir #BBCNews
India’s supreme court is currently hearing an important case about the legality of the revocation of Indian-administered Kashmir’s special status in 2019.

The BBC has spoken to more than two dozen journalists for this investigation. The Indian government says there is absolute press freedom in Kashmir. Our South Asia correspondent Yogita Limaye reports from Srinagar.
