Kunan Poshpora; Largest recorded incident of sexual assault in South Asian history

23rd February, 2023 marks the 32nd anniversary of the mass rape and torture in twin villages of Kunan and Poshpora in Kupwara district of Kashmir.

The largest recorded incident of sexual assault in South Asian history, stands to be a chilling example of the political and judicial impunity enjoyed by Indian Armed Forces in the State of Jammu and Kashmir, under the facade of Indian democracy, argue many scholars and rights activists who work in Kashmir.

A 33-Year-Old’s Disappearance After Detention In Kashmir Reveals Latest Abuse Of Law For ‘Disturbed Areas’

Despite his family’s trauma, the army detention of a 33-year old with no criminal record from his home on a freezing night in December 2022 was legal, since the military has had sweeping powers to arrest or shoot terror suspects in Kashmir for 32 years. But what followed, from the accounts of the family, local police and sarpanch—and the interpretation of India’s law for ‘disturbed areas’ by two retired generals—was a violation of that law and the army’s own procedures, as Abdul Rashid Dar became the latest of more than 8,000 Kashmiris to disappear since the 1990s.
