AI has recorded 415 deaths in detention since 1987; in each case the evidence suggests that the victims had been beaten or otherwise tortured. Torture and deaths in custody appear to be widespread in areas where the government faces armed opposition – Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, Assam and the northeast states – where it can be used to obtain confessions and gather intelligence, as well as to deter or to avenge attacks by armed groups. Adivasis (tribal people), dalits (members of scheduled castes) and members of minority groups, e.g. Muslims, feature prominently among the victims. Women from these groups, including young girls, are reportedly frequently raped in detention.  aCivil and Political Right913899  aTorture Victims913900  aDeaths in Custody913901  aHuman Right913902  aRemedies913903  aAMNESTY INTERNATIONAL913904  2ddccGF  c221262d221262  00102ddc40708PSaALbALd2013-03-24l0o323.490 AMNIpGF00690r2022-01-20 00:00:00w2022-01-20yGF
