India's UN Role Questioned Amid Human Rights Concerns

India's UN Role Questioned Amid Human Rights Concerns

Khurram Parvez is a human rights defender from Kashmir who has been in jail for four years without a trial.

He was arrested for documenting human rights abuses in Kashmir, which the Indian government sees as a crime.

The Indian government says it is committed to human rights, but Parvez's case shows that this is not true.

The United Nations has said that Parvez's detention is unfair and he should be released.

The Indian government has not listened to the UN.

Parvez's case shows that India is not a country that respects human rights, even though it has been elected to the UN Human Rights Council.
