Thousands of Shia Muslims Protest in Indian-Administered Kashmir Against Assassination of Iran's Supreme Leader
Srinagar. Thousands of Shia Muslims protested on the streets of Indian-administered Kashmir against the assassination of Iran's Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei. Protesters gathered at the main square of Srinagar carrying red, black, and yellow flags.
During the demonstration, which remained peaceful, many chanted slogans against Israel and the United States. Forty-year-old Syed Tawfiq told AFP, “Today we are all very sad. We are mourning our beloved martyred leader.”
“We will always stand against your oppression. If you think you have martyred our beloved leader, that is an illusion. You cannot oppress us as long as Khamenei's descendants are alive,” he said, targeting US President Donald Trump.
Similar protests were reported in other parts of Kashmir and in areas of India with significant Shia Muslim populations.
