London, February 23 (TNS): A London-based world human rights watchdog, Amnesty International has expressed serious concern over the impunity enjoyed by the Indian troops for human rights abuses in occupied Kashmir.
The Amnesty International in its annual report for 2017-18 posted on its website said that impunity for human rights abuses persisted in occupied Kashmir, with the Indian forces continuing to use inherently inaccurate pellet-firing shotguns during protests, and the authorities frequently shutting down internet services.
The report, which was released in Delhi, said that in April, eight people were killed by the Indian forces, some of them by the use of excessive force, following protests during a by-election for an Indian Parliamentary seat. One voter, Farooq Ahmad Dar, the report said, was beaten by the army personnel, strapped to the front of an army jeep and driven around for over five hours, seemingly as a warning to protesters. It said that in May, the officer responsible received an army commendation for this work. The report said that in July, the Human Rights Commission of the occupied territory directed the puppet administration to provide Farooq Dar Rs one lakh as compensation, but in November, the authorities refused to pay.

The report maintained that in June, a military court set up under the paramilitary Border Security Force acquitted two soldiers of killing 16-year-old Zahid Farooq Sheikh in 2010. It said that the BSF had successfully prevented the case from being prosecuted in a civilian court.
In July, the report stated, an appellate military court suspended the life sentences of five army personnel convicted by a court-martial of the extrajudicial executions of three men in Machil in 2010. In November, it said, the Human Rights Commission repeated a directive issued to the puppet regime in 2011 to investigate over 2,000 unmarked graves.
