Kashmir Under Siege: Human Rights Abuses Continue Unabated

In a scathing indictment, global human rights activists, organizations, and institutions have condemned the systematic exploitation of the people of Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) by Pakistani authorities. The AJK people have been subjected to modern-day slavery, with their fundamental rights being trampled upon with impunity.

Third-Day of Protests in Muzaffarabad

The people of AJK have taken to the streets for the third consecutive day, blocking all roads leading to Pakistan. Human rights activists and organizations have highlighted the issues of enforced disappearances, torture, and killings, which have become commonplace in AJK.

International Community Urged to Intervene

The Joint Action Committee has appealed to world leaders, particularly the United Nations, to intervene in the Kashmir dispute and ensure that the people of AJK are granted their  right to self-determination. The committee has also urged human rights organizations to take note of the plight of AJK people languishing in prisons and to help secure their release.

The situation in AJK is a stark reminder of the human rights abuses that have been perpetrated in the region for decades. It is imperative that the international community takes immediate action to address these abuses and ensure that the people of AJK are granted their fundamental rights.
