Kashmir Scholars Consultative and Action Network KSCAN
The Kashmir Scholars Consultative and Action Network (KSCAN), is an interdisciplinary group of scholars from various countries and regions engaged in research on the region of Kashmir. Each of us has written about Kashmiri history, society, culture, and politics, and their relation to the protracted conflict; and we are particularly concerned about the present conditions of violence. Our research on the Kashmir conflict addresses its history, its consequences for the region and beyond, and its possible resolution. It has implications for an internationally mediated political solution and is of relevance to policy makers.
On November 22, 2021, leading global human right defender Khurram Parvez was arrested at his residence in Srinagar, Kashmir following a raid at his residence and the offices the Jammu Kashmir Coalition of Civil Society (JKCCS). We call on all states committed to the protection of human rights and democracy, and the United Nations, to urge Indian authorities to immediately and unconditionally release Mr. Parvez.
