Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what assessment the Government has made of the recent killings by Indian forces in Jammu and Kashmir; and what representations Ministers of his Department have made to the Indian Government on that matter.

I remain concerned about reports of unrest in Indian-administered Kashmir. Any allegations of human rights abuses should be investigated thoroughly, promptly and transparently. We have previously raised concerns, most recently when I met Foreign Minister Akbar on 16 March this year.
