Supporters of former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan protested in over 60 locations worldwide, demanding his release after his arrest. The Pakistani government responded by detaining over 1,200 PTI workers and restricting internet access to limit the demonstrations. Protests occurred in cities across Canada and the U.S., with overseas Pakistanis expressing solidarity. In Chicago, Pakistani students organized a car rally to support Khan, highlighting widespread backing from various generations. The Pakistani government labeled the protests a "well-thought-out conspiracy" and warned against attempts to breach security in Islamabad.
