Chaman Lal: "There's no ability to be heard in [India]."

Chaman Lal's story is emblematic of the consequences of "national security" operations and policy that turn a blind eye to abuses. Although the vast majority of India's counterinsurgency victims in Punjab were Sikh, impunity empowered its security forces to target anyone, including poor Hindu families like Chaman Lal's. Watch him describe how the Punjab police abducted and murdered his son in a fake encounter, and how, one by one, the Supreme Court, the High Court, and the National Human Rights Commission, failed to give him any justice. In the words of Chaman Lal, "There is no ability to be heard in [India]."
