<p>Kotli [Pakistan-occupied Kashmir], Aug 28 (ANI): Dozens of people were severely injured in Kotli town of Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) after police baton-charged demonstrators who were carrying out a peaceful rally. The demonstrators were demanding their due share of rights, which they have been deprived of under Islamabad\'s more than seven-decade misrule in the region.</p><p>In order to disperse the huge number the protesters who had managed to gather, police also lobbed tear gas shells which exacerbated the damage.</p><p>Pictures, which later surfaced on the public domain, are testimony to law enforcement agencies\' barbarity on the people of the region. Security forces have been given a free hand by Islamabad to perpetrate brutalities on the Kashmiri people.</p><p>It wasn\'t an exclusive example of Pakistan\'s brutalities on people of PoK. The authorities of Pakistan, who have always meted out a novercal treatment to the citizens of the region, exercise extreme high handedness whenever they sense a voice of dissent emerging from the region. However, an anti-establishment rage has been mounting amongst the people against the autocratic authorities of Pakistan.</p><p>An array of protests has erupted across PoK of late which is slowly shaping up into a rebellion. With a new political disposition in Islamabad, which has allegedly been brought to power with the help of the Army, the law and order situation in PoK is deteriorating.
