Arundhati Roy Faces Prosecution Over 2010 Kashmir Remarks

Indian authorities revive decade-old case under anti-terror laws, sparking global free speech concerns.

Booker Prize-winning author Arundhati Roy could be prosecuted for comments made at a 2010 conference on Kashmir.
The case, initially based on sedition charges, has been reactivated under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA).
Critics argue the move is part of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's broader crackdown on dissent and free speech.
Roy's remarks questioned India's claim over Kashmir, a region contested by both India and Pakistan.
Global literary and human rights communities have condemned the prosecution as a political maneuver to silence critics.
