Dear All, We would like to thank Kashmir Watch for featuring our petition. They are the first [ and probably the bravest] to do so. http://kashmirwatch.com/un-human-rights-council-investigate-india-for-human-rights-violations-in-kashmir/ Our petition has not been press released as yet as we have all been busy building the petition's online presence. The new URL to the petition is www.kashmirhumanrightswatch.com [ the old URL will still work] This has been a team effort by everyone who has signed this petition as well as all on social networking who has pushed this petition to succeed. This petition has a number of obstacles, one being the usual Indian denial that human rights violations have been committed. Indians should remember that it is their taxes [ earned by hard work] that the Indian government are using to commit these violations in their name. Our post on the Wikileaks cable on our Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/kashmirhumanrights/?ref=bookmarks has been seen thousands of times. With thanks to Julian Assange for obtaining this important piece of evidence. To summarise "The most highly charged dispatch is likely to be an April 2005 cable from the US embassy in Delhi which reports that the ICRC had become frustrated with the Indian government which, they said, had not acted to halt the "continued ill-treatment of detainees". The embassy reported the ICRC concluded that India "condones torture" and that the torture victims were civilians as militants were routinely killed. The ICRC has a long-standing policy of engaging directly with governments and avoiding the media, so the briefing remained secret" http://www.theguardian.com/world/2010/dec/16/wikileaks-cables-indian-torture-kashmir By the end of the week, we will be on Instgram, G+, You Tube and Pinterest. I will update you all on this. In the meantime, please do share www.kashmirhumanrights.com. We owe the Kashmiri people the right to justice. Regards Dr Rita Pal
