Supporters of Imran Khan clash with police in Islamabad as lockdown is breached

Supporters of former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan clashed with police in Islamabad on Tuesday, breaching a lockdown. They ignored government threats of live fire as they attempted to reach the city’s Red Zone, where key government buildings are located. At least one person has died, and many others, including journalists, were injured during the protests. Police have arrested over 4,000 Khan supporters since Friday and have suspended mobile and internet services in some areas to control the situation. Khan, imprisoned for over a year, faces numerous criminal cases that his party claims are politically motivated. Authorities have blocked travel into Islamabad with shipping containers and closed educational institutions amid the unrest.
