Missing: 466. India’s Unresolved Disappearance Crisis Deepens
A chilling new report documents 674 cases of enforced disappearances in India. Of these, a staggering 466 individuals remain unaccounted for.
Only 208 people have been released, leaving a deeply troubling unresolved rate of 69.1%. This signifies a significant challenge to the rule of law and human rights in the country.
The report, released on August 7, 2025, highlights the urgent need for a comprehensive investigation into these disappearances and robust measures to prevent future occurrences.
The sheer number of unresolved cases underscores the vulnerability of citizens and raises serious concerns about the efficacy of existing mechanisms for protecting human rights. This demands immediate attention from the government and civil society alike to ensure accountability and prevent further erosion of fundamental freedoms.
