Pakistan Central Government Suspends Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Autonomy, Imposes Emergency Rule

Pakistan's central government has imposed emergency rule in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) province, suspending its Pashtun autonomy and the PTI-led provincial government.

The legal basis for the Chief Minister's 'protective custody' and the full scope of the security threat cited remain unclear.
