'Told to Come to Office for 5 Minutes,' Srinagar Journalist Irfan Mehraj Arrested by NIA
Incarcerated Kashmir human rights activist Khurram Parvez is also an accused in the same case. The NIA has accused some Kashmir-based non-profits of sponsoring activities 'prejudicial to the unity, integrity, sovereignty and security of India.'

#KhurramParvez founded the #JammuAndKashmir Coalition of Civil Society (JKCCS) and is the Chair of the Asian Federation Against Involuntary Disappearances. For 15 years he travelled to the most remote parts of the region to sit with victims of abuse, collect documentation and report on their stories.
In November 2021, he was arrested under the #UnlawfulActivitiesPreventionAct (#UAPA) on politically motivated charges. He remains detained without trial in #India.

#India: Several #UN Special procedures mandates jointly call for the immediate release of #HumanRightsDefender #KhurramParvez
#india #un #HumanRightsDefender #KhurramParvez
Today marks one year since #HumanRightsDefender #KhurramParvez was detained in #India for his peaceful activism to protect #HumanRights. His crime? Reporting on #EnforcedDisappearances in #JammuAndKashmir.
The Indian government must immediately release him and drop all charges.

Very disappointing how few states raised the situation of #HumanRightsDefenders during #India's #UPR yesterday. A missed opportunity to
- press for the release of #KhurramParvez, now arbitrarily detained for nearly a year, or
- condemn the death of Fr #StanSwamy who died in prison after being denied bail.
