| (Xinhua) -- Indian police Saturday arrested a woman separatist leader in India-controlled Kashmir who was on wanted list of police for agitating protests, reported the Indo- Asian News Service. Asiya Andrabi was arrested from a house in Zakura area of summer capital Srinagar, said the report quoting police sources. Andrabi's group, the Dukhtaran-e-Millat, is a constituent of the hardline Hurriyat group headed by Syed Ali Geelani. The group has been issuing shutdown and protest schedules in India-controlled Kashmir over the past two months which have seen violent conflicts between local Muslim youth and Indian paramilitary forces. At least 64 civilians have been killed by paramilitary forces over the past two months in India-controlled Kashmir. |
