Pakistan Central Government Suspends Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Autonomy, Imposes Emergency Rule
Pakistan's central government has imposed emergency rule in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) province, suspending its Pashtun autonomy and the PTI-led provincial government. This action, confirmed by multiple sources, follows the arrest of Imran Khan's party president and hundreds of supporters, escalating political repression and centralizing power ahead of anticipated elections. The legal basis for the Chief Minister's 'protective custody' and the full scope of the security threat cited remain unclear.
