Violent protests erupted in parts of Kashmir after a court in India handed prominent separatist leader Yasin Malik two life sentences for “waging war against the government of India” and funding terror activities.
Malik, the leader of the banned pro-independence group Jammu and Kashmiri Liberation Front (JKLF), was on Wednesday also given five 10-year jail terms and three five-year jail terms on separate charges, all under India’s criminal code.
