British MP Iqbal Mohamed expressed profound concerns regarding the escalating violence and communications blackout in Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (POJK) amid a crackdown on protesters. In a video statement, he highlighted reports of arrests, including British nationals, and the breakdown of dialogue between Pakistani authorities and the Joint Army Action Committee (JAAC), which has been declared unlawful under anti-terrorism laws. Mohamed emphasized the importance of peaceful assembly and communication access, urging the Pakistani government to restore these rights and engage in meaningful dialogue. The protests have resulted in at least four police fatalities and numerous injuries, prompting the government to call for 14,000 additional security personnel. The JAAC's ongoing agitation includes demands for the abolition of specific legislative assembly seats, which they argue are exploited by Pakistani political parties. Amid these tensions, NetBlocks confirmed a major disruption to internet services in the region, further complicating the situation.
