PAKISTAN PROTEST

PTI supporters clash with police after defying blockades and ban on gatherings

epa11643517 A police officer fires teargas shells to disperse supporters of Pakistan's former prime minister Imran Khan during a protest calling for Khan's release, in Lahore, Pakistan, 05 October 2024. Authorities in Pakistan suspended mobile phone services and blocked all roads leading to Islamabad since 04 October, as paramilitary forces were deployed in neighboring Rawalpindi ahead of a planned rally by the opposition party of jailed former prime minister Imran Khan despite a ban on gatherings. The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party called for a rally at Islamabad's D-Chowk, in front of the parliament building, to protest proposed constitutional amendments, which the party claims are aimed at undermining the independence of the judiciary. PTI has been staging demonstrations in various cities to mobilize public support for the release of Khan, who has been imprisoned since August last year and faces numerous legal cases. EPA/RAHAT DAR
