Police push protester off shipping containers during Imran Khan demonstration in Islamabad

Pakistani security forces pushed a protester off a 25-foot stack of shipping containers during a demonstration in Islamabad supporting former Prime Minister Imran Khan. Aides claimed dozens died and hundreds were injured amid chaotic scenes, while officials disputed these claims. The police reported 600 arrests but denied any fatalities, stating that they used no live ammunition. They cleared protesters from the main site, D-Chowk, and seized weapons. A top aide accused authorities of excessive force and covering up casualties. Protests began over Khan's imprisonment on corruption charges. His supporters planned a sit-in until his release. Despite the crackdown, Khan maintains significant support, with protests continuing amid rising political tensions in Pakistan.
