Security forces clash with protesters in Pakistan as violence erupts near capital
A major protest in Islamabad turned violent when security forces confronted demonstrators supporting jailed ex-PM. Officials and protesters give different accounts about casualties while tension grows in Pakistani capital
In a shocking turn of events security forces in Islamabad pushed a man off a 25-foot stack of shipping-containers during a large-scale protest (causing wide-spread outrage on social media)
The demonstration which started on Nov 24th turned into chaos when supporters of Imran Khan met resistance from law-enforcement: hospitals reported different numbers of injured people but exact count remains unclear
Bushra Khan the ex-PMs wife led thousands of pro-Khan protesters before the situation got out-of-hand; the government says they made 600 arrests while protesters claim dozens died
Until Mr Khan returns to us we will not end this march; I will stand till my last breath
The protest started because of Imran Khans three-month imprisonment - he faces about 150 different charges which his party calls made-up. The army which ruled Pakistan for half of its existence since late 40s plays a big role in this conflict
Police chief Ali Rizvi says they found weapons at D-Chowk square where protesters gathered; however Zulfi Bukhari Khans media person states that hospitals got orders to hide real casualty numbers
City clean-up crews removed debris and containers next day - among damaged items was Bushra Khans burnt-out truck. The protest which aimed to continue until Imran Khans release ended early due to security forces night-time raid
