SRINAGAR, Jammu and Kashmir -- Released after nearly two years in jail over terror and fake news allegations, Kashmiri journalist Fahad Shah's weary face tells the story of deepening media repression in the volatile Indian region.
Shah's spiral from editor-in-chief of the influential weekly magazine Kashmir Walla to inmate at a high-security jail saw him become one of nearly three dozen local journalists targeted in recent years with police raids, threats, assault and criminal charges, according to Human Rights Watch.
