Imran Khan supporters march on Islamabad as police enforce crackdown in Pakistan

Supporters of former Prime Minister Imran Khan resumed their march towards Islamabad, demanding his release. The government imposed Section 144 to prevent the protest, citing security concerns due to a visiting Belarusian delegation. Roads were blocked, leading to clashes and arrests. The Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf party faced significant resistance from authorities, who deployed police and paramilitary forces. Protesters attempted to remove obstacles but were slowed down. PTI leaders reported numerous arrests, claiming around 490 party members were detained across Punjab. Imran Khan has been jailed since last year, facing multiple legal cases. His party alleges that the current government, led by the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz, has usurped power through unfair means. The march aims to challenge this situation.
