APDP

Association of Parents of Disappeared Persons (APDP) was established in 1994, when a large number of parents/relatives of disappeared persons used to visit the Jammu and Kashmir High Court to file or to pursue Habeas Corpus petitions. It was felt that there was a need for a collective to campaign on the issue of disappearances – whether in the courts or otherwise. APDP is technically not a human right group but an association of persons demanding the truth and whereabouts of the disappeared. Any family member of a disappeared person can be a member of the association.



PCHR

Public Commission on Human Rights (PCHR) is an independent human rights organization founded in 2002 by Advocate Parvez Imroz . PCHR is a reconstituted outfit of a human rights organization, Kashmir Monitor, which has been working in Kashmir since 1994. PCHR has been documenting human rights violations and disseminating the information through its monthly newsletter “The Informative Missive.” Most of the information published in the newsletter is first hand, collected by the various fact-finding teams constituted by PCHR. Besides documentation, the commission also provides free legal assistance to victims of human rights violations.



IPTK



The International Peoples’ Tribunal on Human Rights and Justice in Indian- administered Kashmir (IPTK) was founded in April 2008. IPTK seeks to examine charges of structural and institutionalized violence in Jammu and Kashmir and engage with the international community.
