Mohammed Afzal Guru was hanged in New Delhi early on Saturday. On Monday, a small group of protesters in Srinagar, were chased away by security forces as they tried to defy the curfew and chanted pro-freedom slogans. Ahead of the execution, authorities ordered people in most of the Indian-held part of the disputed Kashmir region to remain indoors indefinitely in anticipation of anti-India protests. Despite the curfew, hundreds of angry residents protested against Indian rule on Sunday and clashed with troops at dozens of places in the region. In Watergam village near the town of Sopore, which was Guru's home, at least four people were wounded, one critically, as police and paramilitary troops fired tear gas shells and bullets to disperse an angry crowd, police said. One of the injured, 12-year-old Obaid Mushtaq, died early on Monday, said a medical superintendent at the S.K. Institute of Medical Sciences, a government hospital in Srinagar, the main city in Indian Kashmir. He said another 18-year-old boy was on life support. Another young man died in Sumbal village in northern Kashmir on Sunday after he jumped into a frigid river while trying to run away from troops who were firing tear gas and using batons to disperse the protesters. Four policemen were injured in separate clashes. On Monday, local villagers fished out another body of a high school boy who was missing since Sunday's protest in Sumbal from the river, police said. Tens of thousands of security troops were fanned out across the Himalayan region, and metal barricades and razor wire blocked all major roads in the area. Cable television and mobile Internet services were shut in most parts of the region and Kashmir's nearly 60 newspapers were unable to publish. Guru's execution is an extremely sensitive matter in the Himalayan region, where most people believe his trial was not fair. Several rights groups across India, and political groups in Indian-administrated Kashmir, also questioned the fairness of his trial. Anti-India sentiment runs deep in Muslim-majority Kashmir, which is divided between Hindu-dominated India and Muslim-majority Pakistan but is claimed by both nations. Since 1989, an armed uprising and an ensuing crackdown in the region have killed an estimated 68-thousand people, mostly civilians.
