In yet another case of a lethal injury from ‘non lethal’ pellet gun 20 months old, Hiba was hit by a pellets shot by security forces in her right eye on Sunday inside her home in Shopian district of Kashmir. Baby Hiba underwent an immediate surgery. Doctors, however, say the injury is grave and fear she might lose sight in one eye.
“We were sitting inside our house. However, the smoke was so suffocating that it began choking Hiba and it was when I decided to move out. As soon I opened the door of my house police stationed outside fired at us. I pushed my son to one side and covered my daughter’s face with my hand,” said Masrat Jan to a local daily Kashmir Observer.
Jan says she, too, suffered a pellet injury on her hand when she was trying to save her children. “I put my hand on Hiba’s face to protect her.. had I not put my hand, her face would have been disfigured with The parents are also worried about their son who is back home.
The family lives in Kaprin – Batgund area of Shopian district- the same village where the Sunday encounter took place.
“Her condition is not good. We are keeping our fingers crossed and see how she responds to the treatment,” a doctor at the Department of Ophthalmology, SMHS, told The Indian Express. He further said the “patient has perforation in cornea with pellet in the eye.”
On Sunday clashes broke out between civilians and security personnel in Shopian following an early morning encounter on Sunday. According to reports, a civilian was killed and over 50 people were injured in the protests that led to Hiba’s injury.

Thank Allah that Hiba, her family, Kashmir and you are not in Myanmar. Try throwing a stone at a Soldier on Duty in Myanmar with AK 47 in hands.
Thank Allah that Kashmir is not in Russia else whole Kashmir valley would have bombed to stone age like in Chechnya
Thank Allah that Kashmir is not in China where a Muslim child can not to go to mosque and reading Quran is a state offense. In China , as write, Millions of Muslims are in prison camps and being re-educated in non Muslim way of life as Chinese officially consider Islam to be a mental disease and that a Muslim requires a treatment
