which had run a very powerful campaign against atrocities of those times.
Amnesty has been continuously exposing the State repression in India, especially North East, Punjab, Kashmir.

Government statistics subsequently published confirm that, during the period of Emergency, 36,039 political prisoners were held in preventive detention under the provisions of the Maintenance of Internal Security Act alone…..”
