Protests in Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir Escalate Amid Allegations of Force and Calls for International Review

Protests in Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir Escalate Amid Allegations of Force and Calls for International ReviewPreviousNext

Protests in Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK) have intensified amid allegations of excessive force by Pakistani security forces, resulting in civilian casualties and media restrictions. Residents and displaced communities accuse Pakistan of human rights violations and call for international scrutiny. India has condemned the crackdown, citing over 40 deaths since late July and urging global accountability. Protesters demand better governance and an end to repression, while Pakistani authorities label demonstrators as terrorists, a claim rejected by local activists.
