A Kashmiri Muslim protester throws stones towards Indian police during an anti-India protest in Srinagar on September 8, 2010. Indian police arrested chairman of the hardline faction of the All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC), Syed Ali Shah Geelani who had threatened to intensify agitation in the Kashmir Valley. The Muslim-majority Kashmir valley has been rocked by unrest since a teenage student was killed by a police tear-gas shell on June 11. A total of 69 protesters and bystanders have been killed over the past three months, mostly by security forces who have used live ammunition on rallies after being pelted with stones. Getty
