Pakistan bans Pashtun group as government cracks down on dissent
Briefly

The Pakistani authorities have stepped up their violent crackdown on dissent, breaking up opposition protests, mass arrests, and banning the Pashtun Tahafuz Movement under terrorism laws.
Hundreds of riot police used teargas and batons against supporters of Imran Khan's PTI, sparking protests that demanded the release of their leader and an independent judiciary.
Imran Khan, currently jailed on over 100 charges, asserts that the allegations against him are politically motivated as the crackdown on PTI intensifies.
The sudden ban of the Pashtun Tahafuz Movement by the interior ministry highlights the government's intolerance toward groups advocating for minority rights and accountability against the military.
