Protests Intensify in Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir Amid Alleged Crackdowns and Political Demands
Protests in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) have escalated following alleged violence during clashes in Rawalakot on July 27, with demonstrations spreading to major Pakistani cities including Muzaffarabad, Islamabad, Lahore, and Karachi. Protesters demand political rights, food security, and an end to alleged military crackdowns, which authorities deny, attributing violence to local police and blaming external factors. The Joint Awami Action Committee (JAAC) leads calls for a Long March despite reported casualties. Pakistani officials emphasize law enforcement and constitutional order, while opposition voices urge political dialogue and restraint.
