'My only son was shot standing up for justice' - inside city gripped by deadly protests in Pakistan-administered Kashmir
Protests in Rawalakot, Pakistan-administered Kashmir have intensified, with dozens of people killed and many more injured in clashes between security forces and the Joint Awami Action Committee (JAAC). A makeshift clinic run by Dr. Anwar is providing first‑aid to around 50‑60 critically injured patients, but serious cases require advanced hospitals that are overwhelmed. Demonstrators are demanding affordable flour, electricity, education and health care, while authorities label the JAAC as a foreign‑funded terrorist group and restrict movement in the city.
- ▪Since late July, the Rawalakot protests have resulted in dozens of deaths and numerous injuries among mainly young participants.
- ▪Dr. Anwar's improvised clinic has treated roughly 50 to 60 critically injured protesters, including 15 to 20 with gunshot wounds.
- ▪Protesters claim they are seeking basic rights such as lower electricity prices and affordable flour, while the government accuses the JAAC of being armed and disruptive.
- ▪The JAAC was banned in June and labeled a foreign‑funded terrorist organization, a characterization the group rejects.
- ▪Internet access and road movement have been heavily restricted, making information gathering difficult for residents and journalists.
