Thousands gathered in Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province to demand the release of former Prime Minister Imran Khan on the anniversary of his arrest. The rally, organized by Khan's PTI party, aimed to pressure the government for his immediate liberation. Over 10,000 supporters attended, chanting slogans and waving party flags.

Thousands of supporters gathered in Pakistan's volatile northwest region to mark the first anniversary of former Prime Minister Imran Khan's arrest. The demonstrators are demanding his immediate release, officials confirmed.

The rally, organized by Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party, took place in Swabi, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. The large gathering, featuring over 10,000 attendees, saw participants waving party flags and chanting slogans in support of Khan.

Ali Amin Gandapur, a top PTI leader and the provincial chief minister, urged the crowd to prepare for a march on Islamabad. This event aims to pressure the Shehbaz Sharif-led government to release Khan, despite his multiple convictions. Sharif's government denies any foul play, asserting Khan had a fair trial.
