Context and Background
Since his ousting as prime minister in April 2022, Khan has faced numerous legal challenges, primarily linked to PTI’s back-to-back protests and demands for the “return of their mandate.” Despite spending over a year in prison since May 2023, Khan continues to lead anti-government protests.
Recent Protests
- November 24 Protest: Khan’s supporters, led by his wife Bushra Bibi and KP CM Ali Amin Gandapur, marched to Islamabad from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
- Government Restrictions: Key entry points to Punjab and Islamabad were blocked, but protestors defied restrictions, leading to more cases being filed.
Imran Khan’s legal troubles are a direct result of the ongoing political crisis and PTI’s repeated calls for action against the government.
