Major Decision by JAAC in PoK; Protests Across the Region on August 26; Demonstrations for Healthcare and Education on August 29
Rawalpindi – Tension persists in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). Against this backdrop, the Joint Awami Action Committee (JAAC) has decided to intensify its agitation regarding issues such as infrastructure, the violation of fundamental rights, and inadequate healthcare and education systems.
The committee finalized a new schedule of protests during a meeting held in Rawalakot. Protests will take place across the entire region on August 26. Additionally, a ‘Prophets of Revolution Conference’ will be organized.
Demonstrations for Healthcare and Education
On August 29, demonstrations will be held under the slogan, "Why am I denied healthcare and education?" These protests aim to highlight the lack of adequate facilities in schools, colleges, universities, and medical centers. The committee has specifically appealed to women and students to participate. Participants in the Rawalakot sit-in protest have been requested to attend in uniform.
The committee clarified that the peaceful political struggle would continue until demands regarding financial aid, public services, and greater rights are met.
Issues of Enforced Disappearances and Illegal Detentions
The committee demanded the immediate tracing and release of individuals forcibly disappeared from Rawalakot, Islampur, and other parts of Azad Jammu and Kashmir. Specific mention was made of Kotli committee members Zia-ul-Malik, Faisal Mansha, and Mohammad Bilawal. Allegations were also raised regarding the illegal detention of core committee member Shaukat Nawaz Mir, noting that he had not been produced before a court. Demands were also made for the release of peaceful protesters arrested in Rawalpindi and Islamabad.
Serious Allegations Against Pakistan
The committee accused Pakistani authorities of disrupting the supply of essential commodities to PoK. Incidents involving the halting of vehicles carrying food and medicines and the unloading of their cargo, as well as the extortion of money from transporters by the Punjab Police, were highlighted. The harassment of civilians by the Pakistani army was also condemned.
Meanwhile, Kashmiris living abroad have been urged to participate in the ‘March of One Million’ scheduled for August 30 in London and to voice their views to British Members of Parliament.
