India Denied Visas for G20: Canada's Selective Response to Human Rights Abuses http://mostlywater.org/india_denied_visas_g20_canadas_selective_response_human_rights_abuses

“Visa requests were turned down because the applicants either worked for India’s internal intelligence agency or for the army in the disputed, heavily militarized region of Kashmir.”The Globe and Mail goes on to report that some of the reasoning given for the decision was that the above mentioned agency is ‘notoriously violent’ and engages in ‘systemic torture’. 

While it is encouraging that human rights abusers and war criminals are to some extent being held responsible for their violations of international law, why is it that only relatively low-ranking security officials are being kept out of Canada? Why not the leaders who create the structures that allow abuses, and then benefit from such crimes?
