Pakistan Human Rights Commission Reports Excessive Force and Election Concerns in PoK
Pakistan's Human Rights Commission (HRCP) reported that the recent elections in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) were marred by allegations of rigging, violence, and a heavy security presence. The HRCP highlighted the state's disproportionate use of force against protesters, which deepened polarization and eroded public trust. Protests led by the banned Joint Awami Action Committee (JAAC) opposed contentious refugee seats. The commission called for an independent investigation into deaths and injuries amid longstanding political and socio-economic grievances in the region.
