The missing: Fury over Kashmir's disappeared men and boys grows amid security clampdown...

 On the 10th day of every month since 1994, a group of women gather in Srinagar.

Holding faded photographs and wiping away tears with their scarves, these women have doggedly protested for their missing relatives to be restored to them, but with no luck. That is, with no luck yet.

In India’s northern disputed Kashmir state "enforced disappearances" that happened after the armed Islamist insurgency erupted in the region in 1989 have not been forgotten.

Attendance at the park gathering, however, has grown in recent months as the levels of insurgency in the province have worsened and the clampdown by the security forces has tightened.

On Wednesday, as usual, more than 100 women came together to demand the return of their family members. Full story...
