The charges stem from violent protests across the country in which supporters of Khan took to the streets to demand his release.

Pakistani police have levelled multiple charges against imprisoned former premier Imran Khan, his wife and others for inciting people to violence.

A PTI leader has told BBC Urdu that Imran Khan's supporters are on Faisal Avenue, about six kilometres away from D Chowk. D Chowk is a key point in central Islamabad near government buildings, the Supreme Court and parliament.
