Cop ‘lynched’, civilians killed in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. Why did violent protests break out in PoK?
Protests in PoK: Violent clashes broke out in parts of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, with police cracking down on protestors in Muzaffarabad.
The Awami Action Committee (AAC) carried out protests in parts of PoK against inflation on Friday, which led to a massive crackdown by Pakistani security forces, reported local media. A wheel-jam and shutter-down strike in Muzaffarabad brought the city to a standstill on May 10, with the AAC vowing to carry out more protests against the disruption of their peaceful demonstrations.
On Friday, the AAC called for a peaceful protest against high taxes, electricity bills and the sudden rise in inflation. Clashes erupted when the police resorted to tear gas shelling around peoples' homes and mosques, the Dawn reported.
This led to strikes being called across multiple parts of PoK such as Samahni, Sehansa, Mirpur, Rawalakot, Khuiratta, Tattapani, and Hattian Bala. What is happening in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir?
On Friday, the Awami Action Committee led a series of peaceful marches to PoK's Muzaffarabad, protesting against “unjust” taxes imposed on electricity bills, which led to skyrocketing inflation. The protests soon turned violent when demonstrators and the police clashed near Islam Garh, reported Geo News.
The AAC called for a shutter-down and wheel-jam protest in Muzaffarabad, leading to a standstill in business. Police put barricades across roads leading to the city to stop the marchers, which led to clashes. The committee later called for a strike on Saturday when the police arrested multiple leaders and activists during overnight raids.
While the PoK government imposed Section 144 in the area, shutting down educational institutes and offices on May 10 and 11, people came out in thousands on Saturday in all the districts of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
