A 12-year old boy died on Oct.8 in the Kashmir state capital of Srinagar after being hit in the head by pellets fired by para-military forces at crowds of youngsters protesting against the Indian government. Junaid Ahmad’s death sparked clashes during his funeral later in the day, with thousands of protesters chanting “Go India, go back” and “We want freedom” as they marched to the city’s “martyr’s graveyard” with the boy’s body.
