Massive protests by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) supporters are underway, following jailed former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s call for a nationwide movement. Protests are converging on Islamabad, with authorities locking down the capital using shipping containers and imposing Section 144, barring public gatherings for two months. Roads, internet, and railways connecting major cities like Lahore, Rawalpindi, and Faisalabad are heavily restricted. Educational institutions and services have also been shut down.
