Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam Fazl (JUI-F) protest

Supporters of Islamic political party Jamiat Ulma-e-Islam, part of ruling coaling of Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) drive to join protest outside the Supreme Court, following release of opposition party PTI head and former prime minister Imran Khan by courts, in Peshawar, Pakistan, 15 May 2023. Pakistani opposition was relieved on 11 May when the supreme court ordered the release of the former prime minister Imran Khan two days after his arrest. Khan was held by the paramilitary troopers on 09 May from a court complex in the capital, sparking violent protests with clashes between his supporters and police that claimed at least eight lives. The former prime minister, who faces several corruption and terrorism charges, was taken into custody in a graft case relating to alleged financial malpractices in setting up a multi-million-dollar university project trust in the eastern Punjab province.
