Re: 16,000 Kashmiris Languishing in Indian Jails on Dubious Charges
The "Public Safety Act" which allows India's imperialist authorities to imprison people for years, without trials and without habeas corpus, exists only in J&K. So yes, it does mostly apply to Kashmiris.
POTA, the version of the bill that applied to all Indians, was repealed when Congress took power a couple years back.
