A Police Crackdown in Pakistan Threatens Continuing Unrest
Briefly

On the afternoon of Tuesday, November 26, supporters of former Prime Minister Imran Khan marched on Islamabad, facing governmental obstacles including lockdowns and roadblocks, to demand his release.
The 'final call' demonstration was a pivotal moment for Khan's supporters, reflecting their resilience despite a military-backed government response that included closing schools and imposing Section 144.
Despite being incarcerated, Khan's political base remains strong, as evident during the recent elections where candidates associated with PTI secured significant victories.
The protest, likened to Egypt's Tahrir Square, showcased the determination of Khan’s followers who, against heavy odds, reached their intended destination and showcased their support.
