Protests and Civil Disobedience Continue in Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir Amid Unrest

Analysed 14 Aug 2026·4 sources analysed·Pakistan·Politics
Protests and Civil Disobedience Continue in Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir Amid UnrestPreviousNext

Protests in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) have persisted for over two months, with local leaders like Sardar Aman Kashmiri and Sardar Aman Khan calling for demonstrations against alleged military repression and demanding the withdrawal of Pakistani forces. Protesters announced a civil disobedience campaign starting August 14, including boycotts of taxes and utility bills. The movement references a 1948 UN resolution calling for Pakistani withdrawal and a plebiscite. Meanwhile, elections in PoK have faced low turnout, allegations of malpractice, and postponements amid ongoing unrest.
