🚫 FACT CHECK: This Tweet Contains Misinformation

Claim: This Livestream documents and shows evidence of the Pakistani state's violent crackdown in Azad Jammu and Kashmir on July 27, 2026. Security forces reportedly opened direct fire on peaceful protesters, killing 17 civilians and injuring dozens. This brings the total death toll among unarmed protesters to over 100 since the protests for rights began on June 7, 2026. The current AJK elections were boycotted but are alleged to have been rigged to ensure victory for the ruling party in Islamabad and Punjabβ€”a government that already faces questions of legitimacy following reports of rigging in the February 2024 elections. Army Chief Asim Munir and the military leadership are accused of direct involvement in both the election rigging and the repeated massacres of civilians. If this is not the undoing of Pakistan, then what is? Watch for yourself and decide. https://t.co/jmNtMYYld4
