Muzaffarabad (PoK)/ Karachi (Pakistan)/ Hunza (Gilgit-Baltistan), Oct 13 (ANI): People from Gilgit-Baltistan are carrying out demonstrations across the region and in major towns of Pakistan against what they call Pakistan’s clampdown on people’s civil and political rights. While they demand the immediate release of the activists who have been sentenced on trumped-up charges, they have launched a massive resistance drive in the wake of Islamabad’s making attempts to change the political status of occupied Gilgit-Baltistan.

They have threatened to scale up their protests if Baba Jan and other activists who are in jail for years were not released immediately. Gilgit-Baltistan, earlier known as Northern Areas has been governed by “Gilgit-Baltistan Empowerment and Self-Governance Order of 2009”, that established an electoral framework. Elections have been held...
