Thousands march to Islamabad for Imran Khan's release despite lockdown and arrests
Thousands of supporters of Imran Khan, Pakistan's former prime minister, are marching to Islamabad to demand his release. Despite a lockdown and over 4,000 arrests, they are determined to reach the capital, where security forces have blocked roads. Khan has been imprisoned for over a year and faces numerous criminal cases, which his party claims are politically motivated. His wife, Bushra Bibi, is leading the march, urging supporters to remain resolute in their efforts. Authorities have imposed restrictions, including a ban on rallies in the capital, and have suspended mobile services in affected areas. Khan's legal troubles continue, with multiple convictions preventing his release despite some being overturned on appeal.
