Intensifying Unrest in Pakistan Amid Support for Imran Khan

Protests in Pakistan are escalating as supporters of jailed former Prime Minister Imran Khan clash with police in the capital, which has been locked down to thwart their activities. Authorities have imposed heavy restrictions, including suspending internet services and blocking roads, in an effort to prevent rallies aimed at supporting Khan. Hundreds of Khan’s supporters have been arrested across the country, with numerous clashes resulting in injuries to police. Amidst the chaos, new terrorism charges have been filed against Khan, further inflaming tensions. As the situation unfolds, demonstrations continue with the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party pledging to persist in their protests until their leader is freed.
