Kashmiri diaspora members gathered outside the United Nations headquarters in New York to demand international attention to the situation in Pakistan‑occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
A group of Kashmiri expatriates assembled outside the United Nations headquarters in New York, raising their voices against the ongoing developments in Pakistan‑occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoJK). The demonstrators carried placards and chanted slogans that called for global intervention and highlighted alleged human‑rights concerns in the region.
Organisers of the gathering said the protest aims to keep the PoJK issue on the international agenda and to urge the UN to take a firmer stance. They appealed to the diplomatic community present in the city, urging member states to address what they described as a deteriorating situation.
No official response from United Nations officials was reported at the time of the protest. The demonstration remained peaceful, with participants dispersing after a few hours.
The Kashmiri diaspora has a history of mobilising abroad to draw attention to the Kashmir dispute, and this latest action underscores the community’s continued effort to influence global discourse on the matter.
