Pakistani security forces killed two protesters in Muzaffarabad as demonstrations spread through Pakistan-occupied Kashmir on Wednesday. Thousands from the Jammu and Kashmir Awami Action Committee marched from Rawalakot and Mirpur after removing roadblocks that authorities had placed at Palak Bridge in Dadyal. Violence erupted in Bagh, where residents detained several Punjab Police officers while protesters demanded the restoration of mobile networks.
The action committee presented 38 demands that called for eliminating 12 refugee seats and ending elite benefits. Citizens raised slogans against Pakistani control as military convoys entered the region. Leaders asked residents from all districts to converge on Muzaffarabad on October 1 as anger mounted over political suppression and economic policies.
