Lahore: Pakistan's human rights body has said the state resorted to "disproportionate use of force" against protesters in the PoK and raised serious questions about the credibility of the electoral process marred with violence and allegations of massive rigging.
A report by the fact finding mission of the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP) released on Saturday attributed the unrest in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) to longstanding political and socio-economic grievances, institutional distrust and governance deficits.
