Comment on In its struggle to subdue Kashmir, India is stripping it of liberties

Comments

Liberties are certainly an issue. By shutting down media and networks people are being stripped of their visibility. This is being done to avoid responsibility for currently actions being taken. Not being able to openly discuss what you are doing is a clear sign you shouldn't be doing that.

Wouldn’t freedom of assembly, speech, and press be grouped into liberties?

Yes, but simply being visible is even more basic. Rendering someone invisible is an attack upon their person that goes beyond limiting their liberty.
