Supporters of jailed former Prime Minister Imran Khan halted protests in Islamabad on November 27 after a police crackdown resulted in at least four deaths and over 50 injuries. Khan's party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), described the incident as a "massacre." The protests began with thousands of demonstrators, led by Khan's wife, breaching security barriers to reach the city's red zone. Security forces responded with tear gas and detentions, reportedly arresting over a thousand protesters. PTI is now planning a new strategy following the violent clashes. Party leaders, including Bushra Bibi, have returned to their provincial capital after the protests were called off.
