PTI suspends protests in Islamabad as Bushra Bibi energizes supporters for Imran Khan's release
The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party has suspended its protests in Islamabad following a violent crackdown by police and military forces. At least 450 protesters were arrested, and reports indicate multiple casualties among both protesters and security personnel. This protest was notable for the involvement of Imran Khan's wife, Bushra Bibi, and his sister, Aleema Khan, who led the march. Their participation has energized supporters, marking a shift from previous protests that were quickly suppressed. Despite the suspension, PTI claims the protests were different this time, as many supporters successfully reached Islamabad. The party's demands include the release of Imran Khan and other political prisoners, as well as changes to recent election results and judicial amendments.
