Last month, Sherman wrote a letter to Assistant Secretary Alice Wells, whoheads the State Department’s Bureau for South and Central Asian Affairs,and urged her to expedite efforts for sending US diplomats to Kashmir.
“One reason I am so concerned about the situation in Kashmir is becausethere is a lack of reliable information coming from the region,” he wrotein his letter.
Indian-occupied Kashmir has been under lock-down since August 5 when theIndian government revoked the special status granted to the region.
