Pakistan's Khan Marks 3 Years in Jail as Protests Erupt

Thousands of supporters of former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan demonstrated across the country on Wednesday to mark three years since his imprisonment, demanding his release. Khan, 73, was jailed on August 5, 2023, on corruption and state secrets charges he calls politically motivated. Amnesty International and UN bodies have condemned his solitary confinement and treatment, while his health has deteriorated, prompting a Supreme Court petition for better medical care.
