Thousands of Imran Khan supporters converge on Pakistan capital | BBC News

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 Pakistan government.

The former PM has been detained for more than a year on various charges, but remains hugely popular despite his legal troubles and his supporters have been protesting for months.

His wife, Bushra Bibi, told supporters on Monday that the march would continue until her husband was free.
