  "account": "Pakistani authorities have detained 278 members of former Prime Minister Imran Khan's party in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, following the imposition of emergency rule. This move came after days of anti-government protests demanding Khan's release and increasing militant violence in the region. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, a stronghold for Khan's party, would remain non-functional until the security situation improves, according to the government. The PTI-led administration in the province has been accused of failing to deal with militants, leading to the emergency rule. Khan, who has been in custody since August 2023, faces multiple charges and maintains that the allegations are politically motivated.",
  "summary": "A total of 278 members of Imran Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party have been detained in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province since Sunday's emergency declaration.",
