Imran Khan, Wife Face Terrorism Charges After Violent Protests in Islamabad

The Pakistani government accuses Khan, Bushra Bibi, and PTI supporters of inciting violence during protests calling for Khan's release.

  • Former Prime Minister Imran Khan, his wife Bushra Bibi, and hundreds of PTI members face terrorism and other charges following protests in Islamabad.
  • The demonstrations, led by Bibi, escalated into violent clashes with security forces, resulting in at least six reported deaths and over 1,000 arrests.
  • The government denies using live ammunition against protesters and disputes PTI claims of fatalities, calling them unverified and politically motivated.
  • PTI leaders have temporarily suspended protests, citing state repression, but vow to continue pushing for Khan's release and challenging the coalition government.
  • The political unrest adds to Pakistan's ongoing instability, with Khan already facing over 150 cases and accusations of political persecution by the ruling coalition.
