Pakistan Restricts Al Jazeera Over PoK Protest Coverage
Pakistan has reportedly restricted access to Al Jazeera nationwide, with users reporting difficulties accessing the Qatar-based news outlet. This action follows Al Jazeera's coverage of protests and crackdowns in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK). The Pakistani government is described as being irked by the coverage and potentially losing narrative control. India has condemned the crackdown in PoK and reiterated its position on Jammu and Kashmir. Protests have also occurred outside the Pakistan Embassy in Washington D.C. over the unrest in PoK.
