Thousands of Imran Khan's supporters defied a lockdown in Islamabad on Monday to demand his release from prison. Khan, who has been incarcerated for over a year on charges that his party claims are politically motivated, remains popular among his followers.

Pakistani authorities had sealed off the capital, deploying shipping containers and blocking roads to prevent the rally. Clashes erupted as protesters threw stones and bricks while police responded with rubber bullets and teargas.
