A recent court ruling upholding a law that reserves 12 seats in Pakistan-administered Kashmir's parliament for refugees helped spark a wave of deadly protests. 

At least 11 civilians and four members of the security forces were killed in the latest unrest.

But the protests reveal deep-seated anger at economic and political issues in the semiautonomous region.

India and Pakistan each control parts of the Kashmir region, but both claim it in its entirety.

Pakistan-administered Kashmir is semiautonomous: The region has its own prime minister and legislative assembly, but higher authority lies with the national government in Islamabad.
