Supporters of Imran Khan clash with police in Islamabad protests, six dead

Supporters of imprisoned former Prime Minister Imran Khan breached barriers in Islamabad on Tuesday, leading to violent protests that resulted in at least six deaths, including four security personnel. The protests escalated despite government warnings of a strong response. Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi threatened to use live fire against protesters if they attacked security forces. Police deployed tear gas to disperse crowds, while many journalists were injured during the unrest. Authorities have arrested over 4,000 Khan supporters since Friday. Khan's party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, claims the legal cases against him are politically motivated. The government has restricted movement in the capital, closing educational institutions and disrupting mobile services to limit communication among protesters.
