On Tuesday, members of the Kashmiri diaspora convened in Manchester to hold a Ghaibana Namaz-e-Janaza for individuals reportedly killed in Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK). Following the prayer, they marched to the Pakistani Consulate, demanding an independent investigation into the alleged killings. Protesters carried placards urging the international community and human rights organizations to recognize what they termed serious human rights violations in PoJK, where civilians have faced excessive force during protests. Organizers highlighted that several civilians were killed during actions by Pakistani security forces on June 8, calling for accountability and the protection of civil liberties. The demonstration concluded peacefully, with participants reaffirming their commitment to raising awareness about the situation. This protest follows widespread unrest in PoJK, where residents have been demonstrating against issues such as governance and economic hardship, leading to violent clashes with security forces and calls for independent investigations into the violence.
