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

Pakistani police have charged former Prime Minister Imran Khan, his wife Bushra Bibi, and others with inciting violence. This follows protests in Islamabad that resulted in at least six deaths and numerous injuries. Khan has been imprisoned since August 2023. Bushra Bibi led a march demanding Khan's release, but fled during a police raid on demonstrators. Authorities have arrested nearly 1,000 people since Sunday, citing anti-terrorism laws against Khan and his supporters for allegedly attacking security forces. The protests have intensified political tensions in Pakistan, which has seen Khan face over 150 legal cases. Despite the unrest, the stock market rebounded, surpassing 100,000 points for the first time, indicating some economic recovery.
