"Thousands of security forces have poured into central Islamabad in an attempt to quell protests in support of Khan that have gripped the capital since Sunday. The popular politician has been in jail for over a year and faces more than 150 criminal cases that his party claims are politically motivated."
"Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi threatened that security forces would respond with live fire if protesters fired weapons at them. We have now allowed police to take any decision according to the situation, Naqvi said later while visiting the square."
"Protester Shahzor Ali said people were on the streets because Khan had called for them to be there. We will stay here until Khan is among us. He will decide what to do next."
"Protester Fareeda Bibi noted that people have suffered greatly for the last two years. We have really suffered for the last two years, and nothing has improved for us since Khan was ousted."
