Protesters in Pakistan-administered Kashmir have rejected the results of recent local elections. They alleged that voting took place at gunpoint and that the military interfered. Sardar Umar Nazir, described as a key organiser, rejected the outcome and warned the army. Another protest leader, Aman Khan, also alleged military involvement and warned politicians. Women joined demonstrations over what protesters called continuing brutality since June 7. The report includes organisers’ claims and a photographer’s account of the protests. It does not provide a response from Pakistan’s authorities or independent verification of the allegations.
