FIR Launched Against Amnesty International to Support Kashmiri Broken Families

An FIR was filed against Amnesty International India on Monday for allegedly raising "independence" slogans at an event organised at the United Theological College in Bengaluru. 


Human rights watchdog Amnesty International has set the stage for the Kashmiri families, whose members have been subjected to enforced disappearances, custodial killings or fake encounters, to raise awareness about human rights violations in the Valley. The AI has named its initiative "Broken Families: Denied access to justice in Kashmir."
Amid the current crisis in the Valley, these "broken" Kashmiri families, supported by Amnesty International, have embarked on a three city tour to narrate their stories of struggle for justice. The tour will be kickstarted in Bangalore on Saturday evening where an interaction of these families with the people would be moderated by veteran journalist Seema Mustafa.
