[Pakistan] Protests: Peaceful protest

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. On April 10, 2025, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) activists held a peaceful protest rally in Kahuta town, Rawalpindi district, Punjab province, marking the third anniversary of former Prime Minister Imran Khan's parliamentary ouster and demanding his release. The event is classified as low severity with no reported violence or disruptions.

Supply-chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates. Given the peaceful nature and localized scope in Kahuta town, immediate supply-chain disruptions appear minimal unless broader protest movements emerge across Pakistan's industrial corridors.

Watch points

• Monitor for escalation of PTI protest activities in major Pakistani cities, particularly Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad, which could affect transportation networks
• Track whether anniversary-related demonstrations spread to industrial areas or major highways connecting Punjab province to other regions
