Pakistan lifts lockdown in Islamabad after police disperse Imran Khan supporters

Pakistan has lifted a four-day lockdown in Islamabad, reopening roads after police used tear gas and fired into the air to disperse supporters of former Prime Minister Imran Khan. The protests aimed to demand his release from prison. Clashes occurred as thousands of Khan's supporters breached security barriers, leading to at least seven deaths. Many demonstrators were arrested, and Khan's wife, Bushra Bibi, fled the scene as police intervened. Khan has been imprisoned for over a year and faces numerous criminal charges. His supporters began their protests on Sunday, escalating tensions in the capital.
