Pakistan | Protesters Rally for Imran Khan’s Release Amid Internet Shutdowns Pakistani citizens are rallying and protesting for the release of former Prime Minister Imran Khan, who was imprisoned in 2022 after a clash with the military. Protests come as Pakistan faces record inflation and the highest cost of living in Asia. The government, buried in debt, repeatedly and undemocratically turns to IMF bailouts, which only deepen the financial strain on the economy (and ultimately its people). To suppress dissent, the regime cut off Internet access, blocked roads, and used tear gas on protesters. Cut off from communication and limited by growing restrictions, citizens find themselves cornered — facing not only economic hardship but also the relentless grip of a regime that refuses to hear their voices. http://financialfreedomreport.org/
