<p>The UK Government has not made any recent representations to the Government of
India on the Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act (AFSPA) or on Indian military intervention
in Kashmir. We are aware of the concerns regarding allegations of immunity from prosecution
for Indian armed forces personnel under the AFSPA. We continue to follow developments
on this issue. The Indian Government have an established mechanism though which people
can request that cases of concern be investigated. In November 2015, Indian Prime
Minister Modi assured the former Prime Minister, my Rt hon. Friend the Member for
Witney (Mr Cameron) of his commitment to and respect for India’s core values of tolerance
and freedom.</p>
