Supporters of jailed ex-PM Imran Khan are staging mass protests in Islamabad, demanding his release. The situation escalated as clashes with security forces turned violent.
The military, which has historically been the real power in Pakistan, opposes Khan’s release due to his charges related to attacks on military installations on May 9, 2023.
As the demonstrations intensify, the potential for military intervention grows, reflecting the ongoing struggles for power and governance in Pakistan since Khan's ouster.
The government's response to these rallies has involved deploying police in riot gear, highlighting the tensions between the state and Khan's supporters.
