Pakistan in tizzy as police arrest thousands of Imran Khan's supporters during massive protest |N18G

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. His wife, Bushra Bibi, urged the public to join the march, calling it crucial for the nation's future. 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. The violence escalated, resulting in the death of at least one police officer and injuries to dozens of others. Khan's party accused the government of using excessive force and arrests. The government warned that "extreme" measures, including a curfew or military deployment, could be implemented if protesters tried to reach Parliament.
