For Amnesty International, communications cuts and roadblocks undermine people's rights to freedom of expression, access to information, peaceful assembly and movement. These restrictions are part of a worrying crackdown on the right to protest in Pakistan.

More than a year ago, Imran Khan, 71 years old, including four as prime minister, was imprisoned before being censured because he had lost the support, essential to Pakistan, of the powerful army according to experts.

As opposition leader, he led an unprecedented campaign of defiance before finding himself embroiled in a multitude of trials that he claims were orchestrated to prevent his return to power.
