Pakistan: Protests to end in Azad Jammu and Kashmir on May 14 /update 3

The Joint Action Committee announced an end to their protests in Azad Jammu and Kashmir on May 14 after officials agreed to reduce flour and electricity prices while also establishing a judicial inquiry into recent fatalities. This agreement comes after recent protests that began on May 10, which led to at least four fatalities and hundreds of injuries.

Authorities will likely begin reducing the severity of security in the coming days, with curfews, road blockades, and telecommunication restrictions reduced. Lingering disruptions are possible, particularly in Muzaffarabad and Mirpur District, as officials attempt to reinstate normal services.
