Gilgit-Baltistan (Pakistan-administered Kashmir) — The Gilgit-Baltistan Anti-Terrorism Court today extended the police custody of three prominent leaders of the Awami Action Committee Gilgit-Baltistan (AACGB), including Youth Chairman Asghar Shah, Media Cell Incharge Waheed Hassan, and BNF President Irfan Abbas Azad, until May 28, 2025.

The trio was initially presented before the court on charges linked to their political activism and protests. After an initial four-day physical remand, the court granted further custody to law enforcement authorities.

The decision has sparked strong criticism from human rights activists and civil society groups who view the extended detention as a violation of fundamental human rights and an attempt to suppress peaceful political dissent. Critics say that portraying these leaders as criminals is part of a broader strategy to silence voices demanding justice and political rights in the region.
