Pakistani police detain supporters of jailed former Prime Minister Imran Khan's Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf (PTI) party during an election campaign and for the release of Khan from prison, in Peshawar, Pakistan, 28 January 2024. Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) on 28 January began its first countrywide power show, as ticket holders and workers prepared to hold rallies and public meetings in their constituencies, amid fear of arrest. The party also launched its 158-page manifesto, covering major issues in Pakistan. Security forces detained dozens of PTI's activists, following past incidents of protests turning into riots. The party has been facing challenges, including the deprivation of its symbol “bat” and the contesting of election by ticket holders as independent candidates. Despite these obstacles, PTI candidates and supporters are actively engaging in the election campaign, urging people to come out and cast their votes in their favor on 08 February.
