Imran Khan: Hope or Hype? Why Pakistanis protest for him | DW News Desk

Thousands of protesters in Pakistan defied a security crackdown on a march to Islamabad. At least one police officer was killed and dozens of people injured as supporters of jailed former Prime Minister Imran Khan clashed with security forces outside Pakistan’s capital Islamabad, according to officials and the PTI (Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf) Party.

Authorities have enforced a security lockdown for the last two days after Khan called for a march on parliament for a sit-in demonstration to demand his release, while highways into the city have been barricaded. Voted out of power by parliament in 2022 after he fell out with Pakistan’s powerful military, Khan faces charges ranging from corruption to instigation of violence, all of which he and his party deny.

Mr Abbasi says his name, then stops himself: “He filed an application under article six against Imran Khan… I apologise, against the chairman of Pakistan Tehreek-e Insaf.”

We tried to speak to Mr Abbasi, but he did not get back to us.
