Pakistan army ordered to shoot on sight as protests escalate in Islamabad

Pakistan's army has been ordered to "shoot on sight" amid escalating protests in Islamabad, which have resulted in the deaths of four soldiers and at least one protester. The clashes began as demonstrators demanded the release of former Prime Minister Imran Khan. Protesters, led by Khan's supporters, faced police resistance, including tear gas. Authorities reported over 119 police injuries and blamed Khan's movement for the unrest. The government has closed schools in Islamabad and suspended mobile services in some areas. Khan, who has been jailed for over a year, faces numerous legal challenges. His party is also calling for the repeal of a law that they claim allows government interference in the judiciary.
