Public Safety Act, 1978 (PSA). PSA or the ‘Act’ as it is often referred to in Kashmir, is a preventive detention law that allows for the jailing of individuals through executive fiat by administrative officials, rather than by judges following a judicial process or trial.
According to the 2010 Amnesty report ‘A Lawless Law: Detentions under the Public Safety Act‘, at least 10,000-20,000 people have been detained under this preventive detention law since it was enacted in the 1970s.
