Since his removal as prime minister in April 2022, Khan has been the subject of numerous cases amid continuous protests by his party, demanding the “return of their mandate”.
Despite his imprisonment since May 2023, Khan has consistently urged anti-government protests, the most recent being on November 24. This saw supporters from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, led by his wife Bushra Bibi and KP Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur, marching towards Islamabad.
The government imposed various restrictions and blocked key access points to prevent PTI protesters from entering Punjab and the federal capital. Nevertheless, the marchers managed to enter Islamabad.
Further cases were registered against Khan and other PTI leaders and workers for allegedly violating restrictions and engaging in violence during last month’s protest.
