Pakistan tightens security in Islamabad ahead of PTI protest for Imran Khan

Pakistani authorities have closed national highways and motorways ahead of a protest rally by the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party in Islamabad on November 24. The rally supports former Prime Minister Imran Khan, who has been imprisoned for over a year. The government has deployed over 27,000 security personnel to prevent the protest, blocking roads with shipping containers and banning public gatherings. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif's administration has warned that participants may face arrest. Additionally, Pakistan's National Counter Terrorism Authority has issued a warning about potential militant threats to the PTI rally. Intelligence reports indicate that members of the banned Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan may have infiltrated key cities.
