Tasleema Akhter, a prominent human rights activist and Chairperson of the Association of Terror Victims in Kashmir (ATVK), has condemned the alleged violence perpetrated by the Pakistan Army against civilians in Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK). She described the situation as one of bloodshed, urging global human rights organizations to take a stand against these violations. Akhter claimed that internet services have been suspended in PoJK to silence local residents and prevent information from reaching the outside world. She emphasized that the people of PoJK are merely asking for fundamental rights, including healthcare and food security, yet are met with repression. Furthermore, she criticized the crackdown on journalists and political processes, stating that truth-tellers are being silenced and democratic processes are under threat. Akhter also referred to eyewitness reports and disturbing videos of violence that have surfaced, calling for international accountability and support for the affected communities. Protests have reportedly taken place not only in PoJK but also in cities worldwide, including London, drawing attention to the situation.
