Imran Khan's Party Faces Crackdown After Massive Rally in Islamabad

Top PTI leaders arrested following a large protest demanding the release of the former prime minister, who has been jailed for over a year.

Thousands of supporters defied roadblocks to join the rally organized by Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party.
Authorities blocked key routes into Islamabad with shipping containers, attempting to prevent protesters from reaching the capital.
Police detained several PTI lawmakers and leaders, with the party claiming at least 13 arrests, while authorities confirmed four.
The rally saw minor clashes between police and protesters, with reports of stone-pelting and tear gas usage.
PTI leaders issued ultimatums for Khan's release, threatening further action if their demands are not met within two weeks.
