Pakistan closes roads to Islamabad ahead of planned protests for Imran Khan's release

Authorities in Pakistan have closed major roads leading to Islamabad in anticipation of protests by supporters of jailed former Prime Minister Imran Khan, scheduled for September 27. The closures aim to prevent the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party from marching to the capital, as they demand Khan's release following his convictions, which they claim are politically motivated. Additionally, another opposition party, Jamaat-e-Islami, has postponed its own protest against high fuel prices.
