PTI supporters march to Islamabad demanding early elections and release of prisoners

Supporters of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) are marching to Islamabad for a protest called by imprisoned founder Imran Khan. They demand early elections, the release of political prisoners, and the revocation of the 26th Constitutional Amendment, despite a court ban on protests. The government has increased security measures, including a partial suspension of mobile and internet services in several regions. Section 144 has been enforced in Islamabad and Punjab, with additional police deployed to prevent clashes, which have occurred in past protests. Since Imran Khan's ouster in April 2022, PTI has organized multiple protests, often resulting in violence and arrests. Recent protests have focused on demands for Khan's release and allegations of election rigging, reflecting ongoing political tensions in Pakistan.
