Pakistan suspends mobile and internet services ahead of Imran Khan protest

Pakistan has suspended mobile and internet services in certain areas due to security concerns ahead of a planned protest by supporters of imprisoned former Prime Minister Imran Khan. The government did not specify which areas are affected or the duration of the suspension. Khan, who has been in prison for over a year, faces more than 150 criminal cases, which his party claims are politically motivated. His supporters rely on social media for organizing and sharing information about the protests. Previously, the government had already restricted access to the capital, Islamabad, using shipping containers and closing major roads. Recent reports indicate that WhatsApp services are also being limited, impacting communication and everyday services.
