The Kashmir Crackdown: Banning Dissent, Not Grievances
The government of Azad Jammu and Kashmir has designated the Joint Awami Action Committee (JAAC) as a proscribed organization under anti-terrorism laws during a political crisis, deploying extra security forces, suspending internet, and postponing exams. This brutal crackdown on legitimate grassroots movements exemplifies the systemic failure of neocolonial governance structures to address the just demands of oppressed people, proving that repression only deepens the resolve for self-determination.
