PAKISTAN: Reacting to reports that security forces used lethal force against protesters in Rawalakot, Pakistan-administered Jammu and Kashmir, on the first day of the regional election, Isabelle Lassee, Amnesty International’s Acting Regional Director for South Asia, said:
“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.”

@Pakistanomy@MubeenRafique7 Have you ever researched how Kashmiris sacrifice their loved ones' graves in the waters of Mangla Dam? Additionally, have you checked how much electricity we are generating for the entire Pakistan and compared it to our demand? #AzadKashmir
It's disheartening to see the media prioritize political agendas over the pressing issues faced by the people of Kashmir, during harsh weather conditions. It's crucial to spread awareness about the situation and condemn any use of force against unarmed protestors. #AzadKashmir
