Pakistan Increases Security Ahead of PTI's September 27 Islamabad March
Pakistan is preparing for a large-scale march to Islamabad on September 27 organized by former Prime Minister Imran Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) to demand his release after three years in jail. The government is increasing security by deploying 23,500 additional police personnel and using 1,000 shipping containers to control access. Punjab has banned gatherings of five or more people and intensified actions against PTI workers, who allege police raids and detentions ahead of the event. Authorities cite security concerns amid past confrontations during protests.
