Pakistani Americans protest outside Trump's house for Imran Khan's release

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) workers and supporters demonstrated outside the residence of the United States President-elect Donald Trump to demand the release of former prime minister Imran Khan who is incacerated in Adiala Jail . 

Ahead of the do-or-die protest in Islamabad, US-based PTI workers gathered outside the house of US-president Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, and demonstrated for the party founder's release, as they believe Trump will stress the Pakistani authority to release Imran Khan from prison. 

“I stand with Imran Khan,” and “Release Imran Khan” protesters's placards read. 

Demonstrators expressed their solidarity with the former premier and the workers going towards Islamabad for the release of Imran Khan amidst ongoing political instability. 

PTI advocated for Donald Trump's return to the White House since the US presidential campaign began, with many hoping that renewed ties between the two former heads of state could help secure Imran Khan’s release from prison.

Earlier, PTI leader Raoof Hassan said that PTI representatives in the United States have had two or three meetings with Trump's team.

According to experts, the PTI is drawn to Trump because former prime minister was invited to the White House in 2019, where he received a warm welcome, and both leaders expressed mutual appreciation.

Meanwhile, interactions between Trump, Republican leaders, and overseas Pakistanis in the US have also fueled this perception.
