Thousands of Imran Khan supporters protested in Islamabad, demanding the release of the jailed former prime minister. They defied roadblocks and tear gas as they marched towards the city. Clashes between Khan’s Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party and security forces have left six officers dead, including four paramilitary rangers and two policemen. Dozens have been injured in the unrest, which began on Monday. The government imposed a lockdown on Islamabad, sealing roads with shipping containers. Protests intensified despite warnings from authorities and restrictions on mobile services. Security remains tight as tensions escalate across the capital. Investigations into the violence are ongoing.
