The global human rights organization Amnesty International has said in a statement that over the past 50 days in Pakistan-administered Kashmir, people have faced internet shutdowns, widespread arbitrary arrests and restrictions on movement as a result of operations to suppress dissent.
They said that these measures raise serious concerns about the rights to freedom of expression, peaceful assembly and association. With regional elections scheduled for July 27, Pakistani authorities must ensure that people can exercise their rights freely and without fear.
Amnesty International calls on the authorities to investigate allegations of unlawful use of force against protesters. Fully restore internet services. Release those who have been unjustly detained for peacefully exercising their rights. Lift the illegal and complete ban imposed on the Jammu and Kashmir Joint Public Action Committee.
