Supporters of jailed ex-Pakistan PM Imran Khan ended their Islamabad protest after a violent midnight crackdown killed 6 policemen and injured dozens. Security forces used tear gas and live rounds, arresting 450 demonstrators, sparking accusations of a “massacre” by Khan's PTI party. Leading the protest, Khan’s wife Bushra Bibi and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa CM Gandapur retreated as clashes intensified. The Pakistan government alleged foreign involvement, claiming Afghan nationals participated in the unrest. Imran Khan, jailed since 2023 over 200 cases, had called for nationwide protests on November 24, accusing the ruling coalition of a “stolen mandate.”
