Islamabad/Lahore: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party Tuesday organised protest rallies in different parts of the country, demanding the release of former Prime Minister Imran Khan, who was arrested two years ago on corruption charges.
The party claimed that its more than 500 workers and supporters who took to the streets were arrested by police, mostly in Punjab province. Khan, 72, was arrested on August 5, 2023, at his residence in Lahore after being convicted by a court in a corruption case. He has been incarcerated since his arrest due to conviction in other cases, and is being held at the Adiala Jail, Rawalpindi.
