Supporters of Imran Khan march towards Islamabad despite police crackdown in Pakistan

Supporters of jailed former Prime Minister Imran Khan resumed their march towards Islamabad on November 25, 2024, after facing police resistance. The march follows Khan's call for nationwide protests against what he claims is a stolen mandate and unjust arrests. Authorities have imposed Section 144 to ban rallies, citing security concerns during a visit from a Belarusian delegation. Police have blocked roads with shipping containers, and clashes have resulted in arrests of PTI workers, with reports of around 490 arrests across Punjab. Khan's party, Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf, claims to have won the most seats in the February elections, despite being denied an election symbol. Khan has been in jail since last year, facing numerous legal challenges.
