Blood on the Ballot: The Kashmir Election Boycott and Pakistan's Troubled Territory The streets of Muzaffarabad, in Pakistan administered Kashmir, are eerily quiet as residents boycott the upcoming election.
This protest is not just about rejecting the election process; it's a cry for accountability from a population ravaged by violence. At least 80 people have lost their lives since June, according to local estimates.
The recent crackdown has only served to underscore the authorities' willingness to silence even the most moderate voices.
