India's Abu Gharaib in Kashmir




After decades of attrocities, rapes, fake encounters, forced disappearances and the discovery of mass graves, the Indian brutality in Kashmir came out in the open yesterday September 7th 2010 when the Indian Paramilitary forces paraded a group of young Kashmiri men naked in front of their village women (they can be heard crying out in the background of the video). The Indian forces are not only parading the men naked, but also forcing them to keep their arms up and bodies exposed and hurling abuses at them. They can also be heard taunting the village women.

The act is particuarly shameful for India when it is trying to secure itself a seat among the most civilized and forward looking nations in the world. This shameful day also falls in the holy month of Ramadan for the muslim world and for Kashmir which is a muslim majority region.
