Kashmiri activist slams Pakistan over PoK crackdown at UNHRC

Pakistan was exposed for human rights violation in PoK and Balochistan by India and activists from  Kashmir and Balochistan at UNHRC. India on Wednesday raised deteriorating situation in Pakistan occupied Kashmir at UN human rights council, Geneva. Indian diplomat Kshitij Tyagi says, "this Council was told last Friday of scores of civilians killed since June in the territory Pakistan occupies." "Pakistan would better serve its people by focusing on development, rather than by coveting territory of others or exporting terror, because neither these, nor its theatrics in the Council, would help repay the loans its economy survives on", he said.

Kashmiri socio-political activist Tasleema Akhtar has raised concerns over the human rights situation in Pakistan-administered Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK) at the 63rd session of the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC), calling for restoration of civic space and communication services and independent investigations into reported civilian deaths. Speaking during the UNHRC session, Akhtar said protests led by the Joint Awami Action Committee (JAAC) and other civil society groups over governance and economic issues had been followed by arrests, detention of key leaders, an internet shutdown and violent clashes. 
Akhtar said the developments reflected continuing political instability and public discontent in PoJK. She alleged that the authorities’ response had included the arrest of hundreds of activists and supporters and restrictions on communication. “There is a lack of civic space in POJK besides cases of large-scale reprisals, which require to be addressed,” Akhtar said, while calling for an end to what she described as the killing of innocent civilians by Pakistani security forces and for immediate protective measures. She urged the UNHRC to intervene for restoration of civic space and communication in the region and called for independent inquiries into each reported killing, with free and fair access to information relating to the cases.
Meanwhile, unrest in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) and Balochiatan continues amid reports of targeted killings, alleged enforced disappearances and a prolonged communications blackout, with protests and allegations of excesses by Pakistani security forces persisting in the region. Internet restrictions in Pakistan-administered Kashmir have continued for more than 100 days since protests erupted in June, according to recent reports, making it difficult for independent information from the region to emerge.
