Islamabad, Pakistan – Since his controversial arrest and the violence that followed it, more than two dozen leaders from former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan’s Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) have quit the party, which blames the continuing government crackdown for the exodus.
In the biggest setback for Khan’s party since the exodus began, Shireen Mazari left the PTI on Tuesday after the former human rights minister was detained several times since she was first arrested on May 12 over the deadly protests that followed Khan’s arrest.
