PoK protest leader urges Kashmiris to protest against Pakistan
People living in a region called Pakistan-occupied Kashmir are unhappy with how they are being governed.
They have been protesting for almost 70 days because they feel treated unfairly.
A leader named Sardar Aman Kashmiri is asking everyone to join a big protest on August 13.
He says the government is not listening to the people.
He also says police and the military have hurt some protesters and arrested others.
The protesters want laws that apply to everyone equally.
They also want to be able to choose their own government.
The leader says the protests will continue until these demands are met.
He is also asking people outside the region to support them.
JAAC leader Sardar Aman Kashmiri called for a major mobilisation across Pakistan-occupied Kashmir on August 13.
Protests in PoK have continued for nearly 70 days against Pakistan's administration of the territory.
Kashmiri accused authorities of responding to the movement with violence, arrests and repression.
The protest leadership is demanding a 'people's government' and the restoration of rule of law and constitutional supremacy.
Organisers are seeking support from people outside PoK to expand the campaign.
