Reuters reporters saw some of the marchers ransack vehicles and set a police kiosk on fire. They also attacked and wounded journalists at two separate locations, people from two media houses told Reuters.
PTI temporarily called off its Islamabad protest following violent clashes with security forces that left multiple casualties. The party condemned the government’s actions and announced plans for future directives based on guidance from Imran Khan.
The demonstrations were sparked by demands for Khan’s release from jail and the resignation of the federal government over what they call rigged general elections this year.
