At least four killed as ex-Pakistan PM Khan’s supporters enter Islamabad

Al Jazeera  

Thousands clash with police as they force their way into capital to demand jailed ex-prime minister’s release. Several members of Pakistan’s security forces are reported to have been killed as supporters of jailed former Prime Minister Imran Khan forced their way into the capital, Islamabad. Four security service personnel were killed, the government said on Tuesday, as thousands defied a police lockdown, overcoming blockades and tear gas to enter the city. It is extremism.” Information minister Attaullah Tarar added that the protesters seemed to want to cause chaos, but authorities would not allow that, explaining: “No one will be spared.” PTI spokesman Zulfikar Bukhari rejected the government claim that the security forces were killed after being rammed by a vehicle. The human rights organisation Amnesty International also said on X that “law enforcement officials have used unlawful and excessive force” on the protesters.
