Pakistani police charge Imran Khan and his wife with inciting violence during protests

Pakistani police have charged former Prime Minister Imran Khan, his wife, and others with inciting violence. This follows recent protests that resulted in at least six deaths and numerous injuries. Khan has been imprisoned since August 2023 and faces over 150 cases. Khan's wife led a protest march to Islamabad, where police arrested nearly 1,000 demonstrators. Authorities claim the protests turned violent, with accusations that Khan supporters attacked security forces. Police used tear gas and batons to disperse crowds. The political unrest has affected Pakistan's economy, with the Stock Exchange losing over $1.7 billion earlier this week but rebounding to surpass 100,000 points on Thursday.
