Bloody clashes erupted this week in Pakistan-controlled Kashmir, with local civil society organizations claiming that Pakistani security forces opened fire on tens of thousands of peaceful demonstrators.[1] According to these accounts, 25 people were killed on Monday and 5 on Tuesday, bringing the total to at least 30 deaths.[1] The JAAC spokesperson SA Khan alleged that security forces fired in Mirpur and subsequently removed bodies from the scene.[1]
The protests were driven by demands for electoral reforms and opposition to a reserved seating system targeting refugees from Indian-controlled Kashmir.[1] Pakistani authorities have denied involvement in civilian killings, instead accusing the protest movement of receiving financial support from India.[1] Since June, the government has maintained communication blackouts in the region.[1] In related violence that month, approximately 40 people were reportedly killed.[1]
The escalation has drawn international concern. UN Human Rights Chief Volker Türk called for an investigation into the incident.[1] Amnesty International demanded the restoration of communications and access for media to the affected areas.[1]
