Activists from the Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) hold signs and wear chains during a demonstration in Srinagar July 31, 2007. The JKLF, which declared a ceasefire in 1994 against Indian security forces, says it leads a political struggle for Kashmir's complete independence from both India and Pakistan, who claim the region in full but rule in parts. Led by its leader, Javid Mir, the JKLF held a demonstration to highlight what it says are the human rights violation on Kashmiri people by Indian security forces in the Himalayan region. The top left placard reads: "The only voice of the oppressed people of Kashmir is the Liberation Front. The Front's slogan is the slogan of every house in Jammu and Kashmir." The bottom right placard reads: "Maqbool Bhat's movement neither bowed nor sold out."
