On the one-year anniversary of former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s incarceration, his political party, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), organized widespread demonstrations across the country. Supporters gathered in major cities to protest what they characterize as the 'arbitrary detention' of their leader. Khan has been held in jail since August 2023, following a conviction in a case involving the sale of state gifts, a charge he and his legal team have consistently denied.

The protests highlight the ongoing political instability in Pakistan, as the PTI continues to challenge the legitimacy of the current government and the legal proceedings against Khan. While supporters view his imprisonment as a politically motivated attempt to sideline him from national politics, the government maintains that the legal process has been conducted according to the rule of law. The demonstrations remained largely focused on the demand for his immediate release and the restoration of what the party describes as democratic norms. As of now, there is no indication that the government plans to alter Khan’s legal status or release him, despite the persistent pressure from his base.
