Adding my support here to GC and the other former international captains. I hope the court ordered medical assessment be allowed to run its course, and that family visits continue. I hope Imran Khan is treated with the dignity anyone deserves
Pakistan-administered Kashmir is facing its biggest political crisis in years, with deadly protests ahead of a final round of voting in regional elections.
Al Jazeera’s Ava Warriner explains why the wider territory is divided and what's driving the latest unrest.
وادی نیلم مظفر آباد پاکستانی فوج کشمیری نوجوان کے چہرے پر گولی مار کر اسے شہید کر دیا
آزاد کشمیر بدترین ریاستی دہشتگردی کا سامنا کر رہا ہے https://t.co/5rhjg6IW7y
The disturbing reports emerging from Rawalakot are consistent with the Pakistani authorities’ long history of unlawful violence against protesters in Jammu and Kashmir.
A prompt, independent, and transparent investigation must be ordered into the security forces’ use of force against protesters.
So long as an internet and mobile services blackout remains in place, it will severely impede the independent verification of the full extent of the situation on the ground.
We urge the Pakistani authorities to restore all communications access and allow media and independent observers into the area
As Chair of the APPG on Kashmir, I remain deeply concerned by the continued serious escalation in tensions in Azad Jammu and Kashmir. Reports of further deaths, injuries and the use of live fire are deeply alarming.
Many British Kashmiris are understandably worried about the safety of their families, causing real anxiety and distress across our communities.
Every effort must now be made to prevent any further escalation and end the bloodshed. The UK Government should use every appropriate diplomatic channel to support immediate de-escalation and push for a peaceful resolution through table talks, with the inalienable human rights of Kashmiris at the heart of it.

دل دہلانے والا انکشاف!!
کشمیریوں پر LMG استعمال کیا جارہا ہے, یہ اسلحہ عوامی ٹیکسوں پر, انڈیا کے خلاف استعمال کرنے کرنے کے لیے خریدا گیا تھا, لیکن آج کشمیریوں پر استعمال کررہے ہیں, یہ تاریخ میں پہلی بار ہورہا!
مظفر آباد میں حالات انتہائی کیشدہ!!
الکرم اور Bonanza جیسے برانڈز بند کردئیے گئے!!
لیکن ایک چیز نوٹ کرے, نوجوان بلکل توڑ پھوڑ نہیں کررہے, اتنے پرامن ہے وہاں کے نوجوان !!
وہ اپنے حقوق کے لیے نکلے ہوئے ہیں کسی انتشار کے لیے نہیں!!
