  • £India @Human Rights Violations in Punjab: Use
    £INDIA @HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS IN PUNJAB: USE AND ABUSE OF THE LAW I) INTRODUCTION Thousands of people have been arrested by police and security forces in Punjab since 1983, when armed Sikh opposition groups emerged demanding an independent Sikh state ("Khalistan") in Punjab. Prisoners have been kept detained for months or years without trial under provisions of special legislation suspending normal legal safeguards. There are many reports of torture during interrogation. The arrest and detention of some detainees remains unacknowledged for weeks or months. Records of arrests of people held for interrogation have either not been kept by police or their existence has been denied when judicial officials or relatives asked for them. In some cases, the police reported that the people concerned had been killed in armed "encounters", even after they were seen by witnesses to be arrested. In other cases, the police finally acknowledged the arrests, but claimed that the detainees had "escaped". Scores of people have simply "disappeared", the security forces refusing to acknowledge that they had ever been arrested. It is feared that many of them may have been killed in custody. These human rights violations have taken place in a context marked by large scale acts of violence committed by armed Sikh groups. These acts have reportedly included hundreds of killings of police and other officials, hostage-takings and assassinations of political leaders and members of the public.
