Pakistan-administered Kashmir is experiencing its most significant unrest in decades, with protests ongoing for two months and resulting in numerous casualties. Demonstrators are calling for economic and constitutional reforms, specifically the abolition of seats reserved for refugees, which they believe strengthens Islamabad’s control. The local government has responded by restricting internet access, imposing curfews, and limiting the access of foreign media during recent elections. Residents fear a repeat of the 2019 situation in Indian-administered Kashmir, where New Delhi implemented a large-scale military operation and suppression of dissent to integrate the region. These actions have raised concerns about increasing repression and a potential erosion of local autonomy. The current unrest highlights deep-seated frustrations within the region and its complex political landscape.
