LAHORE: Pakistan’s jailed former prime minister Imran Khan has demanded the constitution of a Supreme Court-led judicial commission to probe alleged killings of his party workers by law enforcement officers’ “direct firing” in Islamabad last week.
Khan’s PTI had launched a protest on November 24. His supporters were forcibly dispersed on the night of November 26 when they reached close to D-Chowk in Islamabad’s Red Zone, where most government buildings are located.
In a post on X, Khan said he was informed about how “peaceful protesters were directly shot” and dozens of unarmed citizens who “spoke up for the Constitution and rule of law” were killed.
