Unrest in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir has escalated into a major human rights crisis, with 67 reported deaths amid protests demanding basic rights, accountability and better governance. The Pakistani government is facing mounting criticism over allegations of brutal crackdowns, excessive force, arrests, communication restrictions and suppression of dissent.
Protesters and activists have questioned Islamabad’s treatment of the very people it calls its “brothers” in Kashmir. The protests, driven by anger over basic rights, economic hardship and governance failures, have now become a wider debate on Pakistan’s control over PoK and the lack of democratic freedoms in the region.
As the situation worsens, calls for accountability and international attention are growing louder. n18oc_brass-tacks News18 Mobile App
