Pakistan Imposes Emergency in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Arrests Hundreds in Crackdown on Khan's Party

Pakistani authorities declared a state of emergency in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, suspended the local government, and arrested hundreds in an intensified crackdown on Imran Khan's party, which demands his release. This escalates political repression in a province where Khan's party holds power, signaling a potential constitutional crisis. The move is likely to deepen political instability ahead of elections, but the full scope and legal basis remain unclear.
