  • Topping the demands of Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party is the release of all its leaders, including Khan, who has been jailed on a series of corruption charges since August 2023. They also seek the resignation of the current government over what they call rigged general elections this year.

The article from U.S. News discusses the recent violent clashes in Pakistan between police and supporters of former Prime Minister Imran Khan. These clashes erupted after Khan was arrested on corruption charges, which his supporters claim are politically motivated to prevent him from participating in upcoming elections. The confrontations have led to several deaths and numerous injuries, with Khan's supporters engaging in protests, road blockades, and skirmishes with law enforcement. The situation has escalated tensions in the country, highlighting the deep political divisions and the fragile state of law and order. The unrest stems from Khan's ousting through a no-confidence vote in April 2022, his subsequent legal battles, and the broader implications for Pakistan's political stability as the nation approaches its next general election.
