As Jammu and Kashmir lost its statehood on Thursday and was reorganised into two Union Territories — Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh — a ground report from the region was released by an 11-member fact-finding team.

The team was in Jammu and Kashmir from September 28 to October 4 to assess the situation in the aftermath of the abrogation of Article 370. "As lawyers, activists and doctors, we felt it important out of a sense of solidarity for the people of Jammu and Kashmir, but also out of a sense of responsibility to understand the situation first hand on the ground, in order to advance the true spirit of a democratic society and hold our elected government and the institutions of democracy accountable for their actions," states the 168-page report titled 'Imprisoned Resistance'.
