Police raided homes of Jamaat-e-Islami leaders in Punjab and Rawalpindi ahead of a planned sit-in against high electricity costs, arresting several. Despite failing to arrest central secretary-general Ameer-ul-Azeem, his driver was detained. Ameer-ul-Azeem condemned the raids, citing police harassment and misconduct, calling the government’s actions unconstitutional and undemocratic, and affirming the right to peaceful protest.
