SRINAGAR, India (AFP) – A human rights group in Indian Kashmir on Saturday said it had documented the cases of more than 1,400 people who were victims of “enforced disappearances” in the revolt-hit region.
The group said it had submitted the list of 1,417 names to Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah for an “independent and impartial” investigation.
“This is a preliminary list of cases of enforced disappearances documented by us,” the Association of Parents of Disappeared Persons said in a statement.
The group says some 8,000 Kashmiri Muslims have disappeared since the insurgency against Indian rule erupted in 1989.
The list of missing was distributed at a protest at a park in Srinagar, summer capital of the Himalayan region.
