Protests Continue as Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir Holds Legislative Assembly Elections
Protests in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) have entered their 47th day as thousands march toward Muzaffarabad, demanding political authority and the abolition of 12 legislative assembly seats reserved for non-resident refugees. The Joint Awami Action Committee (JAAC), banned by Pakistan, leads the unrest amid escalating clashes and at least 20 deaths. Despite tensions, PoK's legislative assembly elections proceed in three phases from July 27 to August 10, with heightened security deployed by Pakistani authorities to manage potential violence.
