Thousands of supporters of jailed former Prime Minister Imran Khan defied a government lockdown and police violence to march towards Islamabad, reflecting escalating political tensions.
His party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, claims the charges against Mr. Khan are politically motivated, accusing the government and military of suppressing his support and undermining democracy.
The government claims that Mr. Khan is inciting chaos with his protests and refuses to negotiate for his release, insisting the charges against him are legitimate.
Mr. Khan's call for his supporters to demand his release and fresh elections signifies a pivotal moment in Pakistan's ongoing struggle for democracy amid governmental repression.
