Editorial: Another tragedy of justice
The Indian Supreme Court decision, last week, which gives the Army privilege to choose the form of trial- whether military court martial or civilian courts- for the gruesome murders it committed 12 years ago, has strengthened army claims and impunity to them under Armed Forces Special Powers act (AFSPA). The decision, however, did expose the [...]

Pathribal ruling a setback for justice in Jammu and Kashmir: Amnesty International
This is the statement issued by the Amnesty International. Special powers that allow India’s armed forces suspected of involvement in extra-judicial killings to sidestep the civilian courts have been reinforced in a disappointing court ruling over the notorious killings of five Kashmiri civilians 12 years ago. India’s Supreme Court has contradicted a reported statement by [...]

“In J&K, the elected representatives are helpless to end the state of impunity”
Peoples Union for Democratic Rights is outraged at the brazen claim advanced by the Indian Army that let alone sanction for prosecution, no civil administration can even register a FIR against army personnel without sanction of the Central government. During the hearing on CBI’s complaint against the army for shielding their personnel accused of fake [...]

Graffitti: The Art Of Resistance

I Am Not A Kashmiri
By Stuti Govil I sit down to write this in the brief interlude following a rather devastating piece from the recently released anthology ‘Until My Freedom Has Come’. But the self is reminded, once again, of the fallacy of the word chosen. There is no respite, no running away from the crushing despair that [...]

Justice! Justice! Justice! | Shut Up!
By Fahad Shah Reports say “a 30-year-old woman alleges she was raped by two army men for two days in a hut”. This is what I read on news wires, newspapers and websites. This time police reacted swiftly and filed an FIR No:-66/2011 under section 366,376-RPC in Police Station Damhal Hanji Pora, which they hardly [...]

Kunan Poshpora: A Forgotten Tragedy
Last month it marked the twentieth anniversary of Kunan-Poshpora mass rape case. Twenty years is huge period. Many regimes took power both at centre and state. They failed to deliver justice for the tragedy which befell to this village. No one remembers those mothers and sisters who were forced to stand in queue and were [...]
