Violent protests in Islamabad leave seven dead as Imran Khan's supporters clash with police
At least seven people have died and many others are injured in violent protests in Islamabad, Pakistan, as supporters of former Prime Minister Imran Khan clash with police. The protests, sparked by Khan's call for a final demonstration, demand his release and the resignation of the current government. Protesters have marched towards D-Chowk, a key area near government buildings, despite heavy police presence and roadblocks. The government has deployed the army and issued shoot-on-sight orders to control the unrest, which has escalated into significant violence. Authorities have shut down public transport and imposed a ban on gatherings of more than five people. Internet services have also been disrupted in some areas, as the situation remains tense with ongoing clashes between protesters and security forces.
