PAKISTAN: Today marks the twelfth consecutive day of the internet shutdown in Pakistan-administered Jammu and Kashmir, with mobile network services intermittently disrupted.

The internet shutdown, imposed since 5 June, in response to a call for protest by the Jammu and Kashmir Joint Awami Action Committee, has resulted in an information blackout, disrupting people’s access to information and essential services and preventing documentation of human rights violations in the region. Amnesty International urges the authorities to immediately restore all communication services. Blanket or total internet cuts are inherently disproportionate under international human rights law and must never be imposed.

Further, there are reports of a physical blockade, also imposed in response to the call for protest, of key entry points into the region that have disrupted the delivery of essential goods, including food supplies and medicine. Such restrictions are disproportionate and severely impact people’s rights to life, access to healthcare, and freedom of movement. Pakistani authorities must immediately lift the restrictions on movement and communication and restore unhindered access to the region.

The basic rights to live without skyrocketing inflation, to use electricity produced by our own dams at actual cost, and to protest peacefully without facing sedition charges. Do those not count as basic rights, Mr. Prime Minister?

Sun Tzu taught that subduing the enemy without fighting is the ultimate victory. But when a government treats its own citizens demanding basic rights as the 'enemy,' bans dialogue, and relies on force, it is not a victory, it is a governance failure.

The greatest victory requires no battle, as Sun Tzu said. Instead of banning JAAC and enforcing curfews, true strength lies in addressing the 38 demands of the people and resolving the region's economic crisis through dialogue.
