The Pakistani American Public Affairs Committee (PAKPAC) is deeply concerned by reports of violence, loss of civilian life, and escalating unrest in Pakistan-administered Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan. Recent events, including allegations of security forces using excessive force against demonstrators and the growing tensions surrounding ongoing protests, underscore the urgent need for restraint, accountability, and respect for fundamental human rights. Every government has a fundamental responsibility to protect its citizens, safeguard peaceful assembly, and ensure that grievances are addressed through dialogue rather than force. The use of lethal force against civilians must be subject to transparent investigation, and those responsible for any violations of human rights must be held accountable. The people of Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan deserve to have their voices heard and their concerns addressed through democratic means. Lasting stability can only be achieved through respect for civil liberties, political inclusion, and meaningful engagement with local communities. PAKPAC calls upon the @GovtofPakistan to take immediate steps to de-escalate tensions, protect civilian lives, uphold the rule of law, and engage constructively with community leaders and stakeholders. The rights, dignity, and safety of all citizens must remain paramount during this challenging time. We stand in solidarity with all those seeking peaceful, democratic solutions and reaffirm that the protection of human rights and civil liberties is essential for a just and prosperous future for all.
