More than 70 British MPs have reportedly raised concerns over the deteriorating situation in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), calling for urgent international attention. The lawmakers have highlighted allegations of violence, arrests, communications restrictions and suppression of civic protests in the region. They have urged the United Nations to take note of the situation and press for greater accountability and protection of rights. The development follows growing unrest linked to demands for better governance, basic services and economic relief. Earlier, British parliamentarians had also urged the UK government to intervene diplomatically over reported crackdowns and communication blackouts in PoK. (PC: X)
