Pakistan locks down Islamabad as Imran Khan’s party vows to march on capital
Authorities in Pakistan have sealed off the capital, Islamabad, deploying tens of thousands of police and setting up roadblocks after the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) announced plans to march demanding the release of former prime minister Imran Khan, who is currently incarcerated. The security measures aim to prevent large‑scale protests and maintain public order throughout the city on Friday.
