| HRW says India 'admits to Kashmir abuses' |
| 2006-09-12 |
| A US-based human rights group says the Indian army has admitted to killing militants as a matter of policy. The Human Rights Watch report on the situation in Indian-administered Kashmir also criticises the militants and Pakistan for abetting violence. The report says the situation in Kashmir has improved over the past two years, but it is still severe. Since 1989 when militancy began in Kashmir, the report says more than 50,000 people have been killed. Releasing the 156-page report, Everyone Lives in Fear, the Asia Director of Human Rights Watch, Brad Adams, said extrajudicial executions by Indian security forces were common. "Police and army officials have told Human Rights Watch that security forces often execute alleged militants instead of bringing them to trial in the belief that keeping hardcore militants in detention is a security risk," he said. "Most of those summarily executed are falsely reported to have died during armed clashes between the army and the militants," he added. |

| #4 A US-based human rights group says the Indian army has admitted to killing militants as a matter of policy. So India's applying the Geneva Conventions? You'd think HRW would be pleased. |

| #3 A US-based human rights group says the Indian army has admitted to killing militants as a matter of policy. Well, in light of the recent SCOTUS decision on Guantanamo, maybe this should be our policy too. |

| #2 A US-based human rights group says the Indian army has admitted to killing militants as a matter of policy. The report says the situation in Kashmir has improved over the past two years, but it is still severe. So I guess they'll have to kill even more, eh, Human Rights Watch? Kill enough of them and it'll be a friggin paradise up there... |
