Six killed in Islamabad protests demanding Imran Khan's release

At least six people have died in Islamabad during protests demanding the release of former Prime Minister Imran Khan. Supporters clashed with security forces after breaking through barriers, despite warnings of a violent response from the government. Khan has been imprisoned for over a year and faces numerous criminal charges. The protests intensified after his wife, Bushra Bibi, led a convoy toward a key area in the capital, while authorities deployed thousands of security personnel to control the situation. The government has arrested over 4,000 Khan supporters and restricted internet access in some areas. A court has banned rallies in the capital, and travel has been severely disrupted due to roadblocks.
