Pakistan Holds Talks to Contain Protests by Imran Khan Supporters

Negotiations are under way in Pakistan to contain protests by supporters of Imran Khan, as road closures ahead of the demonstrations disrupt freight transport.

Shipping containers have piled up at Karachi port, with drivers reluctant to move them to the capital amid the road restrictions.

The closures, introduced in preparation for the protests, have complicated the movement of cargo from the port to its inland destination.

The disruption highlights the impact of the protest preparations beyond the capital, as talks seek to contain the unrest.
