News Of The Day From Across The Globe, April 27

Human rights groups have long accused Indian forces of using systematic abuse and unjustified arrests in Indian-controlled Kashmir. Kashmiris have been uploading videos and photos of alleged abuses for some years, but several recent clips, captured in the days surrounding a violence-plagued local election April 9, have proven to be especially powerful and have helped to intensify anti-India protests. The rights group Jammu-Kashmir Coalition of Civil Society estimates that at least 200,000 people have been tortured during Kashmir’s decades-long separatist conflict fueled by anti-India sentiment among a mostly Muslim population and a deployment of hundreds of thousands of troops. Hundreds of taxi and bus drivers protested outside Romania’s government offices in Bucharest on Wednesday to demand that Uber and other online ride services be outlawed. South Korean presidential frontrunner, Moon Jae-in, outraged persecuted sexual minority groups by saying during a television debate that he opposes homosexuality, something his supporters say he had to do to win office in the deeply conservative country. Moon, a liberal candidate and former human rights lawyer, made the comments Tuesday night while responding to a conservative presidential candidate who argued gay soldiers were weakening the country’s military.
