Afghan Voice Agency (AVA): Following widespread protests in Islamabad for the release of the former Pakistani prime minister, the Islamabad Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) on Monday issued arrest warrants for Prime Minister and founder of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi.
NDTV reported that the Pakistani anti-terrorism court also issued similar warrants for 94 other people in a case related to last week's protests by supporters of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf in Islamabad.
Arrest warrants have been issued for individuals including Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur, National Assembly Opposition Leader Omar Ayub, Khalid Khurshid, Faisal Jawad, and MPs Abdul Latif, Fateh Malik, Ali Naseer, and provincial minister Riaz Khan.
According to Fars, widespread protests in Islamabad, which the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) described as a "final demand", were held on November 26 in Islamabad at the request of Imran Khan, with protesters demanding Khan's immediate release.
The widespread protests in the Pakistani capital were met with police violence, with at least 12 people killed and hundreds arrested.
