The United Nations Special Rapporteur on Human Rights Margaret Sekaggya met members of the local civil society and various human rights activists in Srinagar on Wednesday evening.
Margaret arrived in Srinagar on Wednesday afternoon on a two day visit to Kashmir to 'asses the human rights situation in the Valley'.
This is the first visit of the UN special rapporteur on human rights to Kashmir Valley after the outbreak of militant violence in 1990 which has claimed thousands of lives.
Margaret met various human rights activists, family members of the victims and members of the local bar association on Wednesday evening.
She is likely to get an official briefing on the situation in the state before her departure to New Delhi.
Her visit comes in the wake of the over five-month-long deadly civil unrest that left 112 dead and hundreds others injured last summer.
