Imran Khan's release protests intensify in Pakistan, Section 144 imposed in Islamabad; around 2,000 detained

Protests demanding the release of former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan have intensified once again, with his Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party launching a major march towards Islamabad from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The march was launched after talks between the government and PTI failed to produce an agreement. Islamabad has imposed Section 144 as the authorities move to prevent protesters from entering the capital. The PTI-led march is currently making its way towards Islamabad, raising questions over whether the protesters will be able to reach the capital or be stopped on the way.
