Pakistani security forces clear Imran Khan supporters from Islamabad as tensions rise
Pakistani security forces have begun an operation to disperse supporters of former Prime Minister Imran Khan in Islamabad. This follows a breach of a city-wide lockdown, where thousands entered a high-security zone, leading to clashes with police. The operation has resulted in mass detentions, with hundreds of Khan's supporters arrested. Authorities have cleared the Red Zone, which includes government buildings and embassies, and police are seeking to arrest Khan's wife, Bushra Bibi, who led the protests. The government has suspended mobile and internet services in some areas and blocked roads with shipping containers to control the unrest. Over 4,000 Khan supporters have been arrested since Friday, and educational institutions remain closed amid rising political tensions.
