WikiLeaks: India 'systematically torturing civilians in Kashmir' - Telegraph

The US officials in Delhi were privately briefed by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in 2005 that Indian security forces were using methods including electrocution, physical beatings and sexual interference against hundreds of detainees.

In a detailed report back to Washington they recorded the view of the ICRC that India “condones torture” and that the detainees were not Islamist insurgents or Pakistani-backed militants, who were “routinely killed.” Instead, they were civilians “connected to or believed to have information about the insurgency.”

According to the cables, which will prove a major embarrassment for the Indian government, the ICRC interviewed 1,296 detainees of whom 681 said they had been tortured.

Of those, 498 claimed to have been electrocuted, 381 said they were suspended from the ceiling, and 304 cases were described as “sexual.”

A total of 294 described a procedure in which guards crushed their legs by putting a bar across their thighs and sitting on it, while 181 said their legs had been pulled apart into the splits.

In one cable US officials reported that “terrorism investigations and court cases tend to rely upon confessions, many of which are obtained under duress if not beatings, threats, or in some cases torture.”

Other leaked cables from US officials in India revealed that the Dalai Lama believed environmental problems on the Tibetan plateau should take precedence over a political solution there for the next five to 10 years.

The exiled Buddhist spiritual leader told US diplomats that issues such as polluted water from mining, deforestation and melting glaciers “cannot wait.”

US officials also suggested to Washington that India be encouraged to send Bollywood stars to Afghanistan to help pacify the country.

A cable, obtained by the WikiLeaks website, said “We understand Bollywood movies are wildly popular in Afghanistan” but the plan never materialised.”

India stop the torture please.

Is this a secret? Or did the Red Cross only mention this in private?

It's not like everyone doesn't know the Indian Army tries to bully the Kashmiris by torturing innocent people though.

Any proof to justify your claim???? One of the CJI(chief Justice of India) recently said...

"India is the best country for Muslim, No other Non Muslim country has given such freedom to other religion specially Muslims.. Indian film industry is ruled by Muslims, Indian scientists are Muslim, many judge are Muslim"

Due to low education the share in Job is low, but all low cost job are ruled by Muslim... Look at any garage, all mechanic are Muslim, Look at shoe shop , almost all are Muslims

Where is the discrimination????

Agree ppl died at riots, But riots happen in Pakistan, Iran,Iraq and other country as well...

If we go by count since 2002, 2000+ Muslims killed in riots (including Gujrat case) while in the same time much more than this died in Pakistan..

 

[roadrunner]

2000+ is such a small figure for a riot. Such a deflated figure too.

WHat rubbish man. Why don't you just see if the topic has been posted or not? It has been posted twice before.

You seriously don't expect others to do the labour of typing all the responses once again, do you?

Get a life!

I Disagree, Apart from few district of Kashmir Vally, rest is peaceful, Ladak and Jammu is peaceful...

The number of dead is exaggerated

Military are good only when they are at border (kicking enemy) or barrack, They are bad when they are in civilian area... Military can not do policing job... Military will definitely do atrocities.... It all started from Ethnic cleansing of Kashmirs by Taliban (Jobless of Afghan War)....

We've already had the Red Cross admitting thousands of Kashmiris are being tortured by the Indian Army (innocent people nothing to do with the politics). It can only be to try and undemocratically silence them I assume.

That is why I gave "+" sign.. can you please tell me since then(2002) how many Muslim died in Pakistan????

Indian congress (One of pro Muslim party) claimed the death toll around 2600, out of which 300 odd were Hindus, rest were Muslim... Both side had some bad time, We have forget and forgiven each other (to make a better country).......

Correct me If I am wrong

sorry My data was wrong

The attack prompted retaliatory massacres against Muslims on a large scale, in which 790 Muslims and 254 Hindus were killed. 223 more people were reported missing.[2][3] 523 places of worship were damaged: 298 dargahs, 205 mosques, 17 temples, and 3 churches. Muslim-owned businesses suffered the bulk of the damage. 61,000 Muslims and 10,000 Hindus fled their homes. Preventive arrests of 17,947 Hindus and 3,616 Muslims were made. In total 27,901 Hindus and 7,651 Muslims were arrested. Nearly 10,000 rounds of bullets were fired by the police, killing 93 Muslims and 77 Hindus.

If you believe the Indian government's account. Reality is it was probably about 3,000 and almost all Muslim. It was state-sponsored genocide that stopped after it was brought to the attention of foreign media.

we'll i hope they use chill powder to torture...
smear some hot chilli on a thick stick,and ram it from back then the truth comes out from front..
I think it doesn't violate HR..
coz tortue is not done by force,it's done by chilli powder..
