Five Kashmiri Political Leaders Released from Detention
-------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, in Kashmir, the Indian government has released five Kashmiri
political leaders after nearly five months in detention. But Kashmir's
three most prominent leaders remain detained, and the Indian-occupied
territory remains on lockdown. There has been no internet access for
nearly five months - marking the longest internet blackout ever imposed
in a democracy.
