In a series of tweets, Shehla Rashid had said that the Indian Army was involved in human rights abuses amid a clampdown after the abrogation of Article 370 by the Indian government.
She said the Indian Army is indiscriminately picking up men, raiding houses and torturing people in occupied Kashmir.
The curfew and strict communication blockage on Saturday entered 34th day in Indian occupied Kashmir (IoK).
The valley remains cut off from the rest of the world since August 5, when the Bhartia Janta Party (BJP) led Indian government scraped special status of the held valley.
Owing to the curfew and communication blackout continues in the Kashmir valley, people are facing acute shortage of essential commodities including baby food and life-saving medicines.
