Islamabad: Jammu Kashmir Joint Awami Action Committee core committee member, Sardar Umar Nazir Kashmiri, Thursday issued an urgent appeal to the international media and global human rights organisations Thursday, calling for immediate attention to the ongoing crisis in Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir. Since September 29, a peaceful public movement by the locals of PoK and JKAAC members has been met with state repression, human rights violations, restrictions on civil liberties, and the killing of innocent civilians. According to Nazir, this has led to the killings of at least nine unarmed civilians, while hundreds have been injured. Since September 28, the Pakistani government has enforced a complete communication blackout across PoK, suspending mobile networks, internet, and landline connections, effectively cutting off millions of people from the outside world. Nazir strongly criticised sections of the Pakistani media for spreading false and misleading narratives to conceal ground realities from Pakistan’s 250 million citizens and the international community.
