Pakistan authorities hand over to military courts more than over 33 supporters of former prime minister Imran Khan as opposition crackdown intensifies
Police officers detain female supporters of Pakistan's former Prime Minister Imran Khan, as they gather for what they call 'a true freedom protest' in Islamabad in mid-May.
"The accused who are being handed over to the military are those who trespassed and entered very sensitive defence installations," Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah told reporters on Friday. Protesters stormed military installations, including the house of a top general in Lahore, which was set ablaze. Thousands of people, most of them Khan's supporters have been rounded up since.
The political unrest has worsened as Pakistan faces its worst economic crisis in decades. Inflation is at record highs, economic growth is anaemic, and there are fears that the country could default on external debts unless the International Monetary Fund unlocks delayed disbursements.
