AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL: INDIAN SECURITY LAW IS A "THREAT TO HUMAN RIGHTS"

Amnesty International released a report on May 17 regarding the "threat to human rights" posed by Indian laws that lead to the "arbitrary detention of peaceful dissenters in Jammu and Kashmir." The report is titled "Punitive use of preventive detention legislation in Jammu and Kashmir." The following are excerpts from Amnesty International's press release announcing the new report:

"A pattern has emerged of harassment, intimidation and deliberate disregard for the civil and political rights of those who are critical of the government. Many of those detained are prisoners of conscience, held only for their peaceful political views. "People detained under [India's security laws] also run a high risk of being tortured, as many are denied access to family or lawyers for long periods of time."

"Torture is widely used in police stations and interrogation centres in Jammu and Kashmir to extract confessions or information, to humiliate or punish detainees, leading to dozens of reported deaths in custody."


MILITARY BALANCE IN SUB-CONTINENT SHIFTS IN FAVOR OF MUSLIMS
Jane's Defence Weekly, the respected Britain-based military analysis group, reported on May 17 that the declining state of India's military hardware is causing the strategic balance in the sub-continent to shift in Pakistan's favor.

Jane's cited an internal report by India's parliamentary Public Accounts Committee (PAC) that said that "deficient project management" by the country's Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) is leaving India's military exposed and vulnerable.
