Blinded Kashmiri photojournalist: 'Why was I targeted?'

Indian-administered Kashmir has been under curfew since July when the authorities killed a militant leader, sparking widespread protests.

More than 80 people have died and thousands have been injured. Hundreds have been blinded by the security forces using pellet guns to break up civilian protests.

At least 17 journalists have also been injured. Kashmiri photojournalist Zohaib Butt describes the day his life changed forever when out on assignment.
