UNIDENTIFIED GRAVES IN INDIAN-HELD KASHMIR

Early day motion 433, tabled 10 December 2009 by Paul Rowen (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 22 members.

That this House notes with concern a recent report by the International People's Tribunal on Human Rights and Justice documenting the discovery of 2,943 bodies in unmarked and mass graves in Indian-held Kashmir; further notes reports that over 50,000 people have died since 1989 as Kashmiri groups fight for independence; and supports calls for an investigation by an independent body like the International Criminal Court or the United Nations Committee on Human Rights into the circumstances surrounding these deaths.

Signatures by party: Labour 14, Liberal Democrat 6, Conservative 1, Social Democratic and Labour Party 1.
