PTI Announces Mass Protest in Lahore
The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has announced a big protest in Lahore.
They plan to welcome their leader, Sohail Afridi, who is the Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
The protest is also to support Imran Khan, who has been in prison since August 2023.
He and his wife, Bushra Bibi, were sentenced to 17 years in prison each for a corruption case.
The PTI wants to restore what they believe is the rightful law and democracy in the country.
They see this protest as a historic moment to secure Imran Khan's release.
However, over 1,000 PTI supporters were detained ahead of the protest, and the government views the protest as an attempt to take the law into their own hands.
