There are other rights vested into the armed officers implicitly:- The right to abuse The right to humiliate The right to torture And the right to rape
Yes, these are part of the parcel whenever such a draconian law vests so much power to the armed forces. It becomes impossible for the victims to take any legal recourse in such cases. The intervention of armed forces often aggravates the problem, especially if the officers do not hail from the region concerned. Take the case of Kashmir. The Indian Security forces are often worse than terrorists for the communities. This is a primary reason which has contributed to the alienation of Kashmiris and the development of an "indigenious" insurgency. I strongly oppose this sort of legislation which vests so much powers to the armed forces. Yash
