SRINAGAR, Dec 1 A human rights group in occupied Kashmir said on Tuesday it had found unmarked graves containing several thousand bodies in the revolt-hit region during a three-year survey of dozens of villages.

International People's Tribunal on Human Rights and Justice, which calculates 8,000 people have gone missing in the 20-year separatist insurgency, said it had found the unidentified bodies buried in villages bordering Azad Kashmir.

The independent Srinagar-based group said that its report to be released on Wednesday documented 2,700 “unknown, unmarked, and mass graves” containing at least 2,900 bodies.—AFP
