Police to Block Roads With Huge Metal Boxes Before Protest for Jailed Leader

Islamabad police gathered 1,550 big shipping containers to block streets ahead of a September 2026 protest by supporters of former leader Imran Khan, who want him freed. Police say 350 will close the Red Zone, the guarded area holding parliament, with police expecting 20,000 to 25,000 marchers. The size is both a roadblock and a message: stay out.
