Imran Khan supporters clash with security forces in Islamabad, six dead in protests
Supporters of former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan clashed with security forces in Islamabad on Tuesday, breaching a lockdown. At least six people, including four security personnel, were killed in the violence, which included a vehicle ramming incident. The protests were sparked by demands for Khan's release from prison, where he has been held for over a year. Authorities have arrested more than 4,000 supporters since Friday and imposed restrictions on mobile and internet services in some areas. Khan's party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, rejected a government offer to rally outside the city center. The protests have led to significant disruptions in Islamabad, with educational institutions closed and travel severely restricted due to roadblocks.
