Methods Used to Combat 'Militants' 'Militants' are youngsters from the grass-roots of Kashmir society. They have been given a free licence to adopt any methods they find appropriate. The old, sick, children and women are lined up as well as men search them. All young men are taken in trucks to interrogation centres. This 'catch' becomes the human material for the forces to play games in their chamber of horrors .
Torture brings false confessions, while some tortures end in death.
The survivors are taken away into prisons as 'terrorists' and put away without trial. Indian heads are pleased. In certain places, in response to 'militant' activity, the army has acted ferociously, firing not just in the direction of the 'militants' but spray the whole area with bullets, resulting in killings and injuries to innocent people. The army will then finish off the operation by setting fire to properties in the area. Many thousands of people are homeless because their homes have been torched.
