Riots erupted across Indian-controlled Kashmir today as Muslims mourned 15 people killed when Indian security forces fired into crowds of demonstrators yesterday.

The shootings came as thousands took to the streets to protest over the death of Sheikh Abdul Aziz, a Kashmiri separatist leader killed when police shot into a crowd of Muslims trying to march to the Pakistani-controlled part of Kashmir on Monday.

Unrest in the region, the worst since the 1990s, began in May when the state government handed over 100 acres of land for pilgrims to Amarnath, a Hindu shrine in the Himalayas.

"Kashmiris will continue to agitate peacefully, and we should not give Indian oppressors any chance to use brute force," Mirwaiz Omer Farooq, the head of the separatist umbrella group the Hurriyat Conference, said today.

Demonstrations also erupted in New Delhi, Mumbai and the tourist city of Agra, the home of the Taj Mahal, as the unrest spread.

Several thousand people took to the streets of Srinagar, the region's main city, attacking police posts and calling for revenge over the deaths.

Sure sounds like 'peaceful agitation' to me.
