Part 7/12:
Pakistan is experiencing intense political unrest centered on the jailed former Prime Minister Imran Khan. Supporters, led by Khan’s wife and senior party leaders, have mounted large-scale protests in Islamabad demanding his release and the resignation of Prime Minister Shabbaz Sharif’s government. Since Khan’s arrest in August 2023 on corruption and secret charges—charges Khan vehemently denies—the country has seen a surge in protests often marked by violence.
