Pakistan suspends mobile and internet services ahead of Imran Khan protest
Pakistan has partially 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 and messaging apps to organize and share information. In addition to the service suspensions, the government has sealed off Islamabad and closed major roads to prevent access from PTI strongholds. Recent reports indicate restrictions on WhatsApp, impacting media sharing and communication.
