Imran Khan supporters to march on Islamabad to demand his release
Supporters of former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan are starting a march toward Islamabad to demand his release. Khan, who is the main political rival of current Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, has been imprisoned since 2023 on corruption charges. His supporters claim these charges are politically motivated. The march will begin in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, where Khan’s party holds power, on Sunday. Authorities have set up roadblocks in Islamabad.
Talks between Khan’s party and the government failed two days ago. Besides Khan’s release, protesters demand his transfer to a hospital and family visits.
