Thousands protest in Pakistan to demand ex-PM Imran Khan’s release

Thousands of people have taken to the streets in the Pakistani capital, demanding the release of former Prime Minister Imran Khan, who has been behind bars for more than a year on what his party calls are politically motivated charges.

Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party organized the rally in Islamabad on Sunday, marking its first show of strength since the disputed national and regional elections in February.
