TRAt least nine people were killed and 12 injured in violent clashes between supporters of the Joint Awami Action Committee (JAAC) and security forces in Pakistan-controlled Kashmir. The protests, which began after the local government banned the group under anti-terrorism laws in June, have led to ongoing unrest. The JAAC demands the removal of 12 legislative seats allocated to individuals from the Indian-administered part of Kashmir, arguing they benefit pro-Pakistani political parties. Protests have caused significant disruption, including road blockades and suspended public services. This follows similar unrest in September 2023, which also resulted in deaths.
