The Spin

Pakistani forces brutally gunned down innocent civilians in occupied Kashmir, exposing decades of systematic oppression behind the facade of '"Azad Kashmir.'" The military establishment crushes dissent with bloodshed while hypocritically accusing others of atrocities. This historic uprising marks the first time Kashmiris have directly challenged Islamabad's colonial rule over their homeland.

Pakistan's government has shown a genuine commitment to a peaceful resolution by accepting 90% of the protesters' demands, directing law enforcement to use force only when necessary, and respecting citizens' constitutional right to protest. Armed protesters who opened fire on police and sealed border crossings have escalated beyond legitimate demonstration into dangerous anarchy.
