A woman performs during a protest organised by the Association of Parents of Disappeared Persons (APDP) to highlight alleged rights violations by security forces in Jammu and Kashmir, in Srinagar yesterday. Dozens of families of ‘disappeared persons’ in Kashmir took part in the peaceful protest. They carried banners and staged a street theatre to highlight their plight. Security forces have often been accused of human rights abuses such as widespread torture, rape, custodial murder and enforced disappearances in Kashmir.
