Open Raise Human Rights Issues in Azad Kashmir with the Government of Pakistan

Created by Tasneem Kauser
Closes on

We urge the UK Government to raise human rights concerns and communication restrictions in Azad Kashmir with the Government of Pakistan.

Reports state that residents of Azad Kashmir have faced restrictions affecting communication services, impacting contact with families, including overseas Kashmiris. Access to communication and information is important for education, livelihoods, community engagement and the ability to raise concerns peacefully. We call on the UK Government to raise these concerns with the Government of Pakistan and advocate for the protection of human rights, freedom of expression and access to communication services.
