[Pakistan] Protests: Peaceful protest

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. On April 7, 2025, activists from the Tehreek-e-Nafaz-e-Fiqh-e-Jafaria (TNFJ) held a peaceful protest rally in Rawalpindi, Pakistan, demanding reconstruction of the Janaatul Baqi graveyard. The event is classified as low severity with no reported violence or disruptions.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates. Given the peaceful nature and localized scope of the demonstration, immediate supply chain disruption appears minimal.

Watch points

• Monitor for any escalation or expansion of protests to other Pakistani cities that could affect transportation networks
• Track whether similar religious or sectarian demonstrations emerge that might impact broader regional stability
