Clashes erupt in Pakistan as Imran Khan supporters protest for his release

Violence has erupted in Pakistan as Imran Khan's supporters protest for his release from jail. The government responded with a crackdown, leading to clashes in Islamabad. Supporters attempted a "long march" to the capital, defying a lockdown. Security forces used rubber bullets and tear gas to disperse crowds, while protesters dismantled barricades. Khan's party claims a "massacre" occurred, alleging hundreds were killed, while the government reports six deaths, including security personnel. The protests follow a controversial constitutional amendment and ongoing demands for Khan's release amid claims of politically motivated charges against him. The situation remains tense as authorities clear protest sites and reopen roads.
