Lahore: More than 100 supporters of jailed former prime minister Imran Khan have been arrested as rallies were held across Pakistan on Wednesday to mark the completion of three years of his imprisonment, with police cracking down on protesters in Punjab and Sindh provinces.
The main rally was held in Peshawar, the capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, where Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) party is in power.
In Punjab, police baton-charged protesters and arrested scores of PTI workers in Lahore, Mianwali and Rawalpindi.
"Despite this era of oppression, repression, and fascism, a large number of PTI workers and office-bearers in Punjab staged protest rallies and pledged to stand with Imran Khan," he said.
The nation stands with Kaptaan Imran Khan."
