Mothers of Irfan Khan (L) and Javid Ahmad, two missing Kashmiri youths, cry during a demonstration by the Association of Parents of Disappeared Persons (APDP) in Srinagar March 10, 2010. On the tenth of every month, members of APDP assemble in a park in Srinagar to highlight the issue of missing persons in Kashmir and remember their loved ones. The APDP says that more than 8,000 people have gone missing, most of them after their arrest by Indian security forces in the troubled Kashmir region since a rebellion broke out at the end of 1989. But authorities deny the allegations and say their investigations have revealed that most of the missing people have crossed the heavily militarised Line of Control which separates India and Pakistan into Pakistani Kashmir for arms training.
