Joint Awami Action Committee Calls for UN Investigation into POK Crackdown

The Joint Awami Action Committee (JAAC) issued a formal plea to the United Nations and the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, requesting an urgent and independent fact‑finding mission in Pakistan‑occupied Kashmir. The committee highlighted a surge in lethal force, tear‑gas usage, and the burning of personal property against civilians in the past week.

JAAC’s statement stressed that the ongoing blackout of internet and mobile services hampers real‑time reporting, making an external investigation essential for establishing the truth. The appeal also calls on international media and human‑rights organizations to monitor the situation closely and press for accountability for any unlawful actions by security forces.

The committee’s demand aligns with similar calls from global NGOs urging transparent scrutiny of the alleged systematic violence.
