TORTURE AND CUSTODIAL DEATHS
Indian armed forces have let loose a reign of terror and are pursuing with the policy of
unabated killings, torture and brutal methods of killings in Kashmir State since 1989.
Despite the fact that international community and Human Rights Organizations all over
the World have registered constant protests against this policy of Indian Government in
Kashmir, no change is visible in the acts of repressions and suppression at the hands of
forces. In fact the death due to torture and in custody have alarmingly increased.
Many such incidents go un-noticed due to
severe restrictions on the movement of
people, constant crackdowns, curfews and
other repressive measures by the forces.
However, the Forum has been able to
collect details about some such incidents
which are based on personal information,
print and electronic media and data
collected by Human Rights activists. The
officials and armed forces are in the habit
of naming such killings as the result of so
called encounters. But the fact of the situation is that most of such arrests are made
during crackdown operations where people of the area are collected first, bodily
searched before their entry in the specified area and then subjected to identification. The
arrests of the people are made when such persons are totally unarmed and there is no
possibility of any encounter with the forces. Such fake encounters are carved out by the
forces in order to save themselves from the wrath of international community and over
all public resentment.
The cases below highligh the extent of the problem.
