Social Media Clampdown: Iltija Mufti's Account Withheld in India

Iltija Mufti's social media presence on X has been restricted in India due to a legal directive. This follows the registration of a sedition case against her after she posted a video featuring Syed Ali Shah Geelani, a former leader of the Hurriyat Conference.

The account of the young PDP leader was withheld nearly two weeks after authorities filed the FIR. The cyber police registered the case on April 30, triggering the action against Mufti's account.

The incident underscores the ongoing tension surrounding content related to separatist figures in the region, reflecting broader issues of political expression and legal constraints in India.
