Pakistani govt has blocked Al Jazeera and its affiliated channels for "biased coverage" about unrest in the Pakistani- administered Kashmir.
Al Jazeera had already been under the scanner in Pakistan after its pro-Afghan Taliban coverage during border clashes between Pakistan and Afghanistan.
Pakistani officials believe Al Jazeera - mouthpiece for Qatar government - has been paddling agenda-driven stories about Pakistan after Pakistan started mediation efforts between US and Iran.
PAKISTAN: Ahead of the third anniversary of former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s ongoing detention, Isabelle Lassee, Amnesty International’s Acting Regional Director for South Asia, said:
“For three years, Pakistan’s authorities have systematically denied Imran Khan the right to a fair trial, subjected him to prolonged solitary confinement, and limited his access to medical care and visitation rights. He has not been allowed to meet his family for more than eight months and his vision has reportedly deteriorated significantly. Both he and his wife, Bushra Bibi Khan, have now been denied regular access to legal counsel since December 2025."

The Taliban’s GDI network was hacked, and secret documents regarding pro-Taliban assets on social media platforms were leaked. These assets are hired and paid an average of $3,500 to $4,000 per month.
Female Kashmiri students have been arrested in Rawalpindi for the sole act of participating in a peaceful protest. We strongly condemn this action. The world should take notice—Kashmiris are facing serious repression, and these events are taking place inside Pakistan.

Pakistan administered Kashmir has been under curfew for weeks. 🇵🇰
More than a million people have taken to the streets, at least 20 people have been killed, and authorities have launched a sweeping crackdown. Yet there's a good chance you're hearing about this for the first time. 🧐
For decades, coverage of Kashmir has centered on the dispute between India and Pakistan. But this is different. This is an internal protest movement.
The demonstrations are driven by concrete demands: an end to corruption, affordable electricity, and an end to outside interference in local elections. Protesters also want luxury perks and special privileges for ministers, advisors, and bureaucrats abolished.
Authorities have responded by banning the main protest organization, deploying paramilitary forces, and imposing severe communication restrictions. 😳
Internet access has been disrupted, mobile networks suspended, and banking services affected in parts of the region.🤔
PAKISTAN: Jiand Baloch, activist and chair of the Baloch Students Organization, was forcibly disappeared from his home a week ago, on 24 July 2026, by security forces. His whereabouts remain unknown.
This is the third time Jiand has been forcibly disappeared, as part of a pattern targeting Baloch students for their peaceful activism.
📢 Pakistani authorities must immediately reveal his fate and whereabouts, and ensure his safety.
Take action NOW: https://t.co/YkMBd5A95c

Pakistan welcomes the decision of the Lloyd’s Market Association’s Joint War Committee (JWC) to remove Pakistan from its Listed Areas for war risk insurance. This important milestone, achieved through the concerted efforts of the Government of Pakistan, ably coordinated by our High Commission in London, reflects growing international confidence in Pakistan. I also appreciate Lloyd’s for its constructive engagement throughout the process.
This decision is expected to lower shipping and insurance costs, facilitate trade, and support our economic growth. Alhamdulillah.
On the back of the shameful EU Commission meeting with the Taliban, @amnesty urges the EU and member states to immediately abandon all efforts to deport people to unsafe Afghanistan and halt their reckless cooperation with the Taliban on returns.
