Imran Khan supporters clash with police in Islamabad as protests escalate

Supporters of former Prime Minister Imran Khan clashed with police in Islamabad on Tuesday, resulting in at least five deaths among law enforcement and numerous injuries. Thousands breached security barriers to march toward the capital's central "red zone." Authorities have maintained a security lockdown in Islamabad for three days following Khan's call for a sit-in demonstration demanding his release. The area is heavily fortified with barriers and police in riot gear. The protest is led by Khan's wife, Bushra Bibi, and key aide Ali Amin Gandapur. They are pushing for Khan's freedom as tensions escalate in the capital.
