Supporters of former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan rally in Islamabad demanding his release despite police crackdown.
Imran Khan’s supporters took to the streets in Islamabad, calling for his release as police tried to stop the protests by blocking roads and cutting off mobile internet. The protesters faced tear gas as they demanded justice for the former Prime Minister.
The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party claimed that one of their leaders, Ali Amin Gandapur, was unlawfully detained, sparking more outrage among the protesters. Police clashed with the demonstrators, leading to injuries on both sides.
This protest is just one in a series of demonstrations by the PTI, who have faced government crackdowns and arrests of their lawmakers. Despite the obstacles, the supporters remain determined to fight for their cause.
As tensions rise, Amnesty International has raised concerns about the government’s clampdown on freedom of expression and assembly in Pakistan. The roadblocks and communication cuts have sparked international attention on the situation.
Imran Khan, a former Prime Minister, remains in jail on various charges, which his supporters claim are fabricated to keep him out of power. The struggle continues as the PTI fights for justice and fair elections in Pakistan.
