'My only son was shot standing up for justice' - inside city gripped by deadly protests in Pakistan-administered Kashmir

Dr Anwar's makeshift clinic is not far from the main protest site in the city of Rawalakot in Pakistan-administered Kashmir (PAK). A spare bedroom acts as a medical supply cupboard, outside is a bed under a red stretched tarpaulin.Lying across the bed is Shafqat Hussain, shot in the chest. The sheet he lies on is already stained with the blood of previously injured. He is dying.In the last two months, dozens of people have been killed across the region in clashes between security officials and protesters from the group Joint Awami Action Committee (JAAC).This region - home to about 4.5 million people - currently has elections taking place.The BBC is the first media organisation to gain access to Rawalakot and speak to those at the heart of the protests.Dr Anwar – whose name, like most of those in this report, has been changed to protect contributors – tells our team: "We have enough supplies to provide first aid. We can stop bleeding, clean and dress wounds, and remove superficial bullets. But patients with serious injuries to the chest, abdomen, head, or other vital organs need advanced hospitals."Anwar adds: "Even major hospitals would struggle if many such patients arrived at the same time."Since 27 July, the clinic has treated around 50 to 60 critically injured patients, the doctor says, adding that he personally treated 15 to 20 with gunshot wounds.
