Getting the picture: working as a new detention delegate in India

In his second diary entry, new delegate Mark Thomlinson explains his detention work for the ICRC. Mark, who is from Britain, visits people detained in connection with the situation in Jammu and Kashmir – this often means those who are accused of having taken up arms in pursuit of an independent or Pakistan-administered Kashmir. The goal of ICRC prison visits worldwide is to ensure those detained are treated with dignity and humanity, have access to family contacts and are subject to due legal process.
