Amnesty urges India to probe IHK killings
SRINAGAR: Amnesty International on Saturday urged India to investigate the recent killing of civilians in Kashmir, as thousands of Indian troops enforced a strict curfew in several parts of the revolt-hit state. The Kashmir valley has been hit by strikes, demonstrations and curfews over the killing of 11 civilians during the last month by the Indian paramilitary forces and the police struggling to control rallies. “India must investigate all killings,” the London-based rights group said in a statement. It added that any security personnel, as well as any protesters involved in wrong-doing should be brought to justice, and urged India to avoid excessive use of force while dealing with demonstrators. afp
