Protests in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir

While the internal unrest in PoK is primarily a regional political issue, it serves as relevant context for understanding India's neighborhood policy and security dynamics in the border regions.

Notes

Protests are ongoing across multiple districts of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).
The Joint Awami Action Committee (JAAC) has called for a long march to Muzaffarabad on July 15.
The JAAC demands include the release of detained leaders and activists, implementation of a 38-point charter of demands, and an end to security crackdowns.
Reports indicate clashes in Sudhnoti and Mathiyal Mera resulting in casualties.
The Indian Ministry of External Affairs attributes the unrest to systemic exploitation, denial of fundamental rights, and administrative oppression in the region.
Reported state responses in PoK include police brutality, blocking of essential supplies (food and medicine), Internet blackouts, and the use of lethal force.
