This question was answered on 11th March 2019
I recognise that there are deeply held human rights concerns in India-administered and in Pakistan-administered Kashmir. We encourage both India and Pakistan to uphold their international human rights obligations. Any allegations of human rights violations or abuses is concerning and must be investigated thoroughly, promptly and transparently. The UK regularly raises human rights concerns with counterparts in India and Pakistan.
