Pakistani police fires tear gas and arrests dozens of demonstrators gathered to support jailed ex-PM Imran Khan

Pakistani police fired tear gas and arrested dozens of demonstrators gathered to support jailed ex-PM Imran Khan and to protest attempts to keep his PTI party out of the 2024 elections.

Since April 2022, after toppling Imran Khan’s government through a military-backed vote of no-confidence, the Pakistani regime has blatantly violated human rights in an effort to suppress Imran Khan’s movement. These human rights violations include and are not limited to threats, harassment, illegal and arbitrary detentions, abductions, and violence.
