Srinagar, September 28 : In Srinagar, the Association of Parents of Disappeared Persons (APDP) has appealed to the world community to impress upon India to end injustice in Jammu and Kashmir and allow the international institutions to probe human rights abuses perpetrated by its troops in Kashmir.
The spokesman for APDPSpokesperson Tahira Begum in a statement said that more than 8,000 people had been disappeared and over 6,000 mass graves in Kashmir; the authorities and the judicial system had, so far, taken no concrete measures to address the problem of enforced disappearances or any other human rights violations.
Not even one case of enforced disappearance has been redressed and also the administration continues to deny conducting DNA tests of the thousands of unmarked graves and mass graves across Jammu and Kashmir. The victims of human rights abuses have got disillusioned with the available mechanisms of justice in Jammu and Kashmir. The systems of justice in Kashmir have functioned against the interest of the aggrieved, she added.
