Nearly 1000 unmarked graves discovered in Indian-occupied Kashmir
submitted 4 months 11 days 15 hours ago by: sandyenglish : 4 commentsThe Indian government is refusing to investigate credible reports
that up to a thousand unmarked graves have been found in the north
Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir (J&K).
Kashmiris and Indian and international human rights organizations
have long maintained that India’s security forces have systematically
“disappeared” thousands of persons accused of supporting
the anti-Indian insurgency in Kashmir, India’s only majority
Muslim state.
The grisly discovery of 940 unmarked graves was made public
in a report published in late March by the Association of Parents
of Disappeared Persons. The APDP was formed in 1994 by a mother
whose son vanished after being arrested in his home in the middle
of the night by Indian security forces. It has campaigned against
the Indian government’s callous refusal to investigate the
thousands of disappearances that have occurred over the past two
decades at the hands of Indian security forces.

There may be many many more not just 1000. They are almost butching them and the world is silent about it.Sanday English i would like to ask you why did you start this buzz as you are not indian or Pakistani or Kashmiri do you have any sympathy with the kashmiris if YES why ?
I am a socialist and as such am obligated to expose oppression, human degredation, and genocide everywhere. There is only ONE struggle.

Well, the real thanks goes to author of the article and World Socialist Web Site, which seeks out this material, particularly for South Asia. In fact, you should write directly to them re the article to tell them just what you have told me.
