Pakistani police arrest over 4000 Imran Khan supporters ahead of rally in Islamabad

Pakistani police have arrested over 4,000 supporters of former Prime Minister Imran Khan ahead of a planned rally in Islamabad. The city is under lockdown, with major roads sealed off and mobile services suspended in certain areas. Khan, who has been in prison for more than a year, faces over 150 criminal cases, which his party claims are politically motivated. The government has restricted access to social media and messaging services to limit communication among supporters. Authorities have warned that anyone attempting to reach the sealed-off Red Zone in Islamabad will be arrested. The heightened security measures coincide with a visit from Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko.
