Supporters of former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan, organized by his Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party, are preparing protests in Islamabad and Rawalpindi. Khan has been held in Rawalpindi's Adiala Jail since August 2023. Authorities have imposed Section 144 to ban large gatherings.
Supporters of former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan are planning large-scale protests centered in Islamabad and Rawalpindi. Organized by his Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party, the demonstrations are set outside Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi and near the Islamabad High Court. Khan has been detained in the same jail since August 2023 amid various legal cases.
In response to the planned protests, Pakistani authorities have invoked Section 144 to prohibit large gatherings, aiming to address security concerns and reduce tensions in the area. The PTI has highlighted these events as crucial for advocating Khan's release and addressing political grievances.
This development underscores ongoing political instability in Pakistan, where Khan's backers are voicing discontent against the government. While specific timings or further details remain unavailable, the protests could escalate if restrictions are lifted.
