UK law firm asks British police to arrest Indian army chief MM Naravane and Home Minister Amit Shah over alleged role in torture, kidnapping and killing of activists, journalists and civilians in Kashmir
The international law firm in London said it believes its application is the first time that legal action has been taken abroad against Indian authorities over alleged war crimes in Kashmir.
The police application was made on behalf of the family of Zia Mustafa, a jailed rebel fighter whom Camuz said was the victim of an extrajudicial killing by Indian authorities in 2021, and the behalf of human rights campaigner Muhammad Ahsan Untoo, who was allegedly tortured before his arrest last week.
Kashmiris and international rights groups have long accused Indian troops of carrying out systematic abuse and arrests of those who oppose rule from New Delhi.In 2018, the UN human rights chief called for an independent international investigation into reports of rights violations in Kashmir, alleging "chronic impunity for violations committed by security forces."
The law firm's investigation suggested that the abuse has worsened during the coronavirus pandemic and under Hindu nationalist leader Narendra Modi's rule.
