A Pakistani court has ordered the blocking of passports for the Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and 24 lawmakers from Imran Khan's party, the PTI. This move is a significant development in the ongoing political tensions in Pakistan, where the PTI has been actively organizing protests. The blocking of passports could limit the ability of these individuals to travel abroad, potentially restricting their ability to engage in international diplomacy or seek refuge.
