"State terror in the Indian subcontinent is endemic. In the last few decades hundreds of thousands of people have been abducted, tortured and killed by South Asian death squads: the 'men in black' of Bangladesh, 'encounter specialists' of India, units of the Royal Nepalese Army, intelligence agencies and paramilitary forces of Pakistan, and the 'men in white vans' of Sri Lanka.
Jallad explores this dark world of disappearances, torture and extrajudicial executions. Tasneem Khalil exposes the system of human rights abuses in countries whose regimes are backed and armed by the United States, the United Kingdom, Israel and China."
