The International Committee of the Red Cross sent evidence to US diplomats1 about widespread torture by Indian security forces in Kashmir, according to cables obtained by Wikileaks.

维基泄密所获得的情报显示,国际红十字会曾向美国大使递交克什米尔地区广泛存在的印度保安部队虐囚的证据。

The revelations come at a time of heightened tension in Kashmir
The revelations come at a time of heightened tension in Kashmir
Visits to detention2 centres(拘留中心) in the region in 2002-04 revealed cases of beatings, electric shocks, sexual abuse and other types of ill-treatment.

The organisation3 concluded that India condoned4(宽恕,原谅) torture in the region.

There has been no comment on the issue so far from the US, India or the ICRC.

Correspondents say the revelations will be embarrassing for Delhi, coming at a time of heightened sensitivity in Kashmir, which is divided between Indian and Pakistani control.

They were published by The Guardian5 newspaper in the UK, one of five publications - including the New York Times, France's Le Monde, El País in Spain and Germany's Der Spiegel - given access to the entire archive(档案文件) of the reports from US diplomats out in the field by Wikileaks.

Wikileaks website says it has obtained more than 250,000 cables passed between the US State Department and hundreds of American diplomatic outposts(前哨站,警戒部队) - but it has so far only published a small sample of those messages.

The site's founder6, Julian Assange, was on Thursday freed on bail7 in London, where he is fighting extradition8 to Sweden over sex assault allegations made by two women. He denies any wrongdoing.

Electric shocks

The torture allegations come at a time of heightened tensions in Kashmir, with massive public protests and numerous curfews in recent months.

The ICRC told diplomats they had made 177 visits to detention centres and met 1,491 detainees, a cable published in the UK Guardian newspaper said.

Ill-treatment was reported in 852 cases, the ICRC said.

A total of 171 said they were beaten and 681 subjected to one or more of six forms of torture:
Electric shocks
Suspension from ceiling
Crushing of leg muscles
Legs split 180 degrees
Water torture
Sexual abuse

Nonetheless the situation was "much better than it was in the 1990s", officials said.

There were no longer cases of security forces indiscriminately raiding villages and detaining their inhabitants, they added.

The latest batch9 of documents to be released by Wikileaks is made up of diplomatic messages sent from US embassies around the world.

The website released 77,000 secret US files on the Afghan conflict in July, and 400,000 documents about the Iraq war in October.

Washington has strongly criticised Wikileaks for publishing classified diplomatic cables and military reports.
