Pakistan deploys troops over Imran Khan protests
Pakistan imposed strict security restrictions on Islamabad to prevent protests by supporters of former Prime Minister Imran Khan. Main roads were blocked with shipping containers, and around 35,000 security personnel were deployed in the capital and its surroundings, as well as in other areas across the country. These measures come ahead of a rally organized by the party founded by Khan to demand his release. Khan has been detained since 2023 after being sentenced to 17 years in prison on corruption charges, which he denies. Authorities have arrested some of Khan's sisters and party activists as part of the government's efforts to maintain order, while the movement continues to call for his release and adequate healthcare provision.
