This is a report released by the JAMMU AND KASHMIR COALITION OF CIVIL SOCIETY, the Bund, Amira Kadal, Srinagar 190001, (www.jkccs.net) TOTAL KILLINGS Year 2011 has just passed, and many have declared this year, a peaceful year in Jammu and Kashmir.

APDP: A credible inquiry commission should probe 8000 disappearances of JK
This is a press statement by Association of Parents of Disappeared Persons, issued here today. Callousness of the government continues vis-à-vis victims of human rights abuses and in particular against the family members of those who have disappeared in the last two decades in Jammu and Kashmir.

More than three months have passed since the State Human Rights Commission (SHRC), after endorsing our findings on unmarked graves and mass graves, passed a judgment in which it asked the government to constitute an Independent Commission for probing the identity of those buried in unmarked graves, investigating the circumstances in which they … Read entire article »
