Kashmir encounter killings

A woman and member of the Association of Parents of Disappeared People (APDP) cries during a protest rally to demand information on the whereabouts of missing relatives, during the International Day of the Disappeared in Srinagar, on August 30, 2011. Human rights activists allege that extrajudicial killings, like the cases in which Major Avtar Singh was allegedly implicated, have been common in Indian-administered Kashmir over the past several decades. Earlier this week, Major Singh shot his wife and two children before killing himself in Fresno, Ca.
