Protests Erupt in PoJK Over Disappearance of Raja Mudassir

In Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK), incidents of enforced disappearances are on the rise, causing significant concern among the local population. The recent disappearance of Raja Mudassir has led to widespread protests across PoJK.

Raja Mudassir’s Disappearance

Raja Mudassir, a resident of PoJK, went missing on Friday, sparking protests in several locations. His family members led the demonstrations, demanding his safe and unconditional release. Protesters criticized the local administration and security forces, holding placards and chanting slogans.

Community’s Response

According to local reports, Mudassir was abducted by security forces during Ramadan, and his whereabouts have remained unknown since then. A local leader expressed the community’s anguish, stating, “No one can even imagine the pain Mudassir’s family members must have been going through. The youth of a country is its power and PoJK’s administration is abducting them. Currently, no one knows where our beloved is. The administration is not punishing a single person; they are punishing the entire PoJK. This protest will surely become severe if the activist is not returned safely.”

Another protester added, “We are now fed up, our brother has been disappeared for months. We have registered complaints and have tried to reach the authorities so that Mudassir is returned safely. Our village folk are present here today in hundreds and we are again reaching out to the authorities and will take this protest further if Mudassir is not returned safely.”
