Summary
Koalpura Safapora Manasbal Overview: Koalpura Safapora Manasbal area (shown in the red triangle), located in the Bandipora District, was investigated as part of the "Buried Evidence: Unknown, Unmarked, and Mass Graves in Indian-Administered Kashmir" report, published in December 2009 by the International People's Tribunal on Human Rights and Justice in Indian-Administered Kashmir. The report, based on investigations from November 2006 to November 2009, documents 7 graves in Koalpura Manasbal, all of which were unnamed at the time of investigation.
What Happened: Pattern of extrajudicial killings and fake encounters by Indian military and paramilitary forces during the Kashmir conflict (1990–2009). The fact that all 7 graves are unnamed indicates a deliberate effort to conceal victim identities, likely to avoid accountability for conflict-related deaths. The Safapora area, near Manasbal Lake, has been a site of military activity due to the presence of an airbase (inverted orange triangle).
