According to Amnesty International on July 1, 2015, “India has martyred one lakh (100,000) people in Kashmir. More than 8,000 disappeared (while) in the custody of army and state police. No one has returned so far.”
After the death of more than 90 Kashmiri civilians and thousands more injured in 2016 , the UN human rights chief has said that a probe into the atrocities has become necessary. Speaking at the Geneva-based UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC), he said that due to conflicting reports from both sides of the line of control there has to be an “independent, impartial and international” mission that has “free and complete access”.
