Pakistan detains over 4,000 Imran Khan supporters ahead of rally in Islamabad

Pakistan has detained over 4,000 supporters of former Prime Minister Imran Khan ahead of a planned rally in Islamabad. The police have also arrested five parliamentarians as the capital remains under lockdown to prevent protests demanding Khan's release and the government's resignation. Authorities have sealed off the Red Zone in Islamabad, warning that anyone attempting to enter will be arrested. The government has implemented strict security measures, including blocking major roads and highways to limit access for Khan's supporters from other regions. Mobile and internet services have been disrupted in areas deemed security risks, although officials claim only mobile data is affected. The U.S. Embassy in Islamabad has issued a security alert, advising Americans to avoid large gatherings due to potential violence.
