Death toll from Pakistan-administered Kashmir protest clashes rises to 20: AFP tally

MUZAFFARABAD, Pakistan: The death toll from clashes between police and members of a banned protest movement in Pakistan-administered Kashmir has risen to 20, according to an AFP tally on Friday based on official figures. Supporters of the Joint Awami Action Committee (JAAC), an anti-government movement demanding economic and governance reforms, have been pressing ahead with protests despite the group being banned under anti-terrorism laws last week. Officials initially told AFP on Monday that seven people had been killed — three civilians and four police officers — and dozens wounded.
