WORLD, Page 38World NotesINDIAStains on The Record
The father of a 12-year-old boy accused of petty theft
accompanies his son to the police station in New Delhi and is
beaten to death by cops for no apparent reason. A young leftist
said to have burned himself to death in Pondicherry is found to
have been set afire, possibly while in custody and in handcuffs.
According to a report issued last week by the human-rights
organization Amnesty International, these and other crimes were
committed over the past seven years in India. Amnesty claims
that torture in detention has been endemic in all 25 Indian
states under the past four governments, and has resulted in at
least 415 deaths since 1985. India rejected Amnesty's findings
as "unfounded."
