Supporters of Imran Khan are marching toward Islamabad to press for the release of the jailed former prime minister, The Washington Post reports. The demonstration follows the failure of talks between his supporters and the authorities, according to the newspaper.
The Washington Post reports the march is aimed at the Pakistani capital, where protesters are calling for Khan to be freed. The report does not describe the size of the crowd, the route being taken, or any response from the government.
The development points to a continued standoff over Khan's detention, with his supporters turning to street pressure after negotiations did not produce a result. The Washington Post published its report on Sunday, October 4, 2026.
It was not immediately clear from the report what caused the talks to break down, who took part in them, or how long Khan has been held. Those details were not included in the available material.
What to watch next: whether the march reaches Islamabad, how the authorities respond, and whether either side returns to negotiations.
