PM's Daughter Reveals 54 Nations That Aided U.S. Detention Program


However, India did not feature among the countries named in the report, nor did the list of 136 detainees include any Indians. There were none even detained in India. A majority of them were detained in Pakistan in raids and many of them were noted to be Pakistanis.

Amrit is the youngest of PM Manmohan Singh's three daughters and is married to Barton Beebe, a professor of law at New York University. Previously she was a staff attorney at the American Civil Liberty Union's Immigrants' Rights Project before she joined the National Security and Counter terrorism program at the Open Society Justice Initiative in 2012. Few of her human rights work is recorded in a book ‘Administration of Torture: A Documentary Record from Washington to Abu Ghraib and Beyond’, that she has co-authored.

Singh has been a relentless critic of U.S. human rights violations.  She wrote in her conclusion "The time has come for the United States and its partner governments to admit to the truth of their involvement in secret detention and extraordinary rendition, repudiate these practices, and conduct effective investigations directed at holding officials accountable," as reported by TNN.
