    Kashmir police refuse body demand

    Police in Indian-administered Kashmir have rejected a demand for the identification of up to 1,000 bodies, said to be buried in unmarked graves.

    A Kashmir-based rights group says it has found the graves, which it alleges could contain the remains of civilians who went missing after their arrest.

    A BBC correspondent has been to two of the sites said to contain the bodies.

    The Indian army and militants have been accused of numerous human rights abuses in Kashmir in the past two decades.

    The Association of the Parents of Disappeared Persons (APDP) has identified a dozen villages in the area around Uri, near the Line of Control that divides Kashmir, where it says nearly 1,000 unidentified people have been buried.

    Deeply disturbing if the bodies, turn out to be the bodies of civilians and seeing as the Indian Police are refusing to id the bodies. It looks like there trying to hide something, by not identifying the bodies.

    If this turns out to be civilians, this could derail the peace process between India and Pakistan. Which could put the region under threat of nuclear war (again).
