Protests Turn Deadly in Kashmir | Adelaide News
Description
Protests in Pakistan-controlled Kashmir have turned deadly as security forces fire on unarmed crowds, sparking outrage and fear across the region. Organized by the Joint Awami Action Committee, demonstrations began over soaring living costs but escalated after unmet reform promises and recent elections. The government has now branded the group a terrorist organization and imposed a brutal internet and phone blackout, silencing communication while amplifying chaos. Eyewitnesses describe indiscriminate gunfire, injuries treated at home, and missing demonstrators. Activists claim over 80 deaths since June, while authorities deny the toll and accuse protesters of being armed. Amid growing international concern, citizens demand accountability, an interim government, and independent investigations — their voices rising even as silence is enforced.
