Pakistan police clear Imran Khan supporters from Islamabad after protests

Pakistan's police have cleared supporters of former Prime Minister Imran Khan from Islamabad after a crackdown. The operation ended a four-day lockdown, allowing roads to reopen. Hundreds of protesters were arrested during the clashes. The protests, led by Khan's party, aimed to demand his release from jail. Khan has been imprisoned since August 2023 on multiple charges, which he claims are politically motivated. The protests turned deadly, resulting in several fatalities. Following the crackdown, Khan's party announced a temporary suspension of protests. Party leaders, including Khan's wife, have returned to their home province. Police have arrested over 4,000 supporters since Friday, but mobile and internet services have been restored.
