In Kashmir, another protester has died after reportedly being hit in the chest by a tear gas shell fired by police during a protest Sunday. Eighteen-year-old Irfan Ahmad is at least the 69th person to be killed amid the ongoing protests, which began more than a month ago after Indian security forces killed a Kashmiri independence leader. Indian soldiers and paramilitary forces have cracked down on the protests against Indian rule, opening fire during demonstrations and imposing a strict curfew. Among those who have been killed is a 30-year-old professor who was beaten to death in Indian army custody. Many others have reported being beaten by troops in their own homes.
