Thousands of supporters of Imran Khan, Pakistan’s jailed former prime minister, are marching towards the capital Islamabad from across the country, demanding his release.

Nearly 4,000 people arrested and at least seven people, including a police officer and members of security forces, lost their lives

The unrest was sparked by Khan's imprisonment at Rawalpindi 's Adiala Jail since August 2023 on several charges. Despite a court order barring a planned rally on November 24, PTI supporters gathered at D-Chowk in Islamabad, demanding Khan's release. The protesters broke through barriers in the high-security zone near important government buildings.
