Imran Khan was arrested on May 9, 2023. Following his arrest, riots broke out across the country, with party leaders and workers staging protests that targeted both civil and military installations, including Jinnah House and the General Headquarters in Rawalpindi.
The government condemned the events as a “black day” and decided to try the protesters under the Army Act. The unrest resulted in the arrest of several PTI members and their trial in military courts. In December, a military court convicted 25 people, including Imran Khan’s nephew Hassan Khan Niazi, and later sentenced 60 more.
