PTI protests in Islamabad face heavy security as government enforces court ruling against demonstration

Supporters of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party are gathering in Islamabad for a protest despite a court ruling declaring it unlawful. The government has deployed heavy security, including roadblocks and arrests, to prevent the demonstration, which PTI claims is being met with teargas and detentions. The Islamabad High Court has instructed authorities to maintain order while allowing for public life to continue, especially with a foreign delegation arriving. Mobile internet services have been disrupted in the city, and educational institutions have been ordered to close. The government has warned that any protesters entering the designated "Red Zone" will be arrested. PTI leaders are calling for peaceful protests, while the government accuses the party of causing economic damage and instability.
