On February 25, 2026, tensions escalated in Pakistan as Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi warned of a 'full-scale' protest movement by the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party if the ban on meetings with imprisoned former Prime Minister Imran Khan continues. Afridi stated, "This time, we will stage a protest against the government with full force," emphasizing that the party has been pushed to the wall despite exhausting all legal avenues. This warning coincides with PTI parliamentarians staging symbolic protests outside the Supreme Court, demanding Khan's transfer to Shifa International Hospital and access to his personal physicians, which they argue is essential for his health care.
