Описание: Imran Khan's Supporters Reach Islamabad Defying Police Ban, One Killed in Clashes

Thousands of protesters rallied to demand the release of former prime minister Imran Khan, clashing with police as they marched into Pakistan's capital Islamabad. Over 20,000 officers, armed with shields and batons, were deployed, while the government shut down mobile internet, citing “security concerns.” Tear gas and rubber bullets were fired as protesters removed roadblocks set up to stop convoys from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Punjab provinces. Islamabad banned public gatherings for two months and closed schools and universities for two days. Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi warned that anyone attempting to occupy D-Chowk, a key protest site, would be arrested.
