A human rights group in Indian Kashmir said Tuesday it had found unmarked graves containing several thousand bodies in the revolt-hit region during a three-year survey of dozens of villages.
International People's Tribunal on Human Rights and Justice, which calculates 8,000 people have gone missing in the 20-year separatist insurgency, said it had found the unidentified bodies buried in villages bordering Pakistan-administered Kashmir.
The independent Srinigar-based group said that its report to be released on Wednesday documented 2,700 'unknown, unmarked, and mass graves' containing at least 2,900 bodies.
International human rights groups have in the past called for a probe into whether the unmarked graves held bodies of civilians who have 'disappeared' as Indian security forces struggle to contain the Muslim-majority region's revolt.
