I had the chance to review the reports of various Indian human rights groups. which corroborated the human rights charges against the Indian security forces. On a subsequent visit to Azad Kashmir. I heard first hand substantiating testimony from dozens of refugees from Indianheld Xashmir. The refugees. who were being held in two separate camps. offered a convincing view of Indian security force misconduct. I heard stories of old people being summarily executed. of women being held for days at security force encampments where they were repeatedly raped. and children who were forced to watch the brutalization of their parents. or who were themselves tortured. The Government of India acknowledges that there have been some violations of human rights by their forces. but denies that the violations have been widespread or condoned.
