Photo of the day: A history of violence

Indian police detain Kashmiri shiite mourners shouting pro-freedom slogans, defying restrictions during a Muharram procession in Srinagar, India on August 17, 2021. The government forces in Kashmir had to resort to tear gas shells and baton charge to disperse crowds in various parts of the region to bar Shiite mourners from carrying out any processions on the eighth day of Muharram.
