Protesters march to Pakistan’s capital amid a city lockdown and violent clashes with the police as political tensions surge.

Pakistan's capital, Islamabad, is under lockdown for a second day as thousands of protesters demanding the release of former prime minister Imran Khan from jail converge on the city. His supporters are also calling for the overturning of election results they say were rigged - a claim disputed by the government.

Thousands of supporters of Pakistan’s imprisoned former premier Imran Khan have defied a lockdown and mass arrests to head to the capital to demand his release.
