Jammu:
The central government-appointed interlocutors on Jammu and Kashmir
will study rights watchdog Amnesty International's report alleging
human rights abuses in the state under the Public Safety Act,
informed sources said.
"Human rights abuses is one of the major concerns of the
interlocutors and they have already made their concerns known in
public," a source close to the interlocutors told IANS.
"They would be closely studying the Amnesty report on the human
rights abuses in Kashmir," the source said.
Interlocutors Dileep Padgaonkar, Radha Kumar and M.M. Ansari were
appointed to study the situation in Jammu and Kashmir.
In their report to the central government, they have expressed
"serious concern" over alleged human rights abuses in Kashmir, where
people were arrested on charges of stone-pelting and some booked
under the Public Safety Act under which they were put in jail
without trial for two years.
The Amnesty International report on Kashmir, released in Srinagar
Monday, coincided with the time when interlocutors are working to
find out and suggest measures to bring to an end human rights
violations in the state, the source said.
