Following Khan’s arrest on May 9 last year, his supporters had attacked and torched several military buildings and offices to protest against what they describe as the illegal detention of their leader.

Former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan has alleged that dictatorship is prevailing in the country. He made this claim in a lengthy post on his X account on Thursday night.

Khan's party, PTI, also outlined its plans for future agitation. In the post, Khan stated that dictatorship has been established in Pakistan.

He accused the government of using terrorism to target innocent and peaceful political workers, with many being shot dead. He also claimed that thousands of their workers are missing, urging the Supreme Court to take notice of the situation and fulfill its constitutional role.

Through his message, Imran Khan called for the release of under-trial political prisoners and the formation of a judicial commission to conduct a transparent investigation into the incidents of May 9 and November 26. He warned that if these demands are not met, PTI will launch an agitation starting December 14.

China files complaint with World Trade Organization over Canadian steel tariffs

China is taking its dispute with Canada over steel tariffs to the World Trade Organization. Beijing filed a complaint earlier today with the WTO in response to Canadian restrictions on imports that contain steel melted or poured in China. Prime Minister Mark Carney announced last month that he was imposing the 25 per cent surtax on products containing Chinese steel to protect the domestic industry in the face of steep U.S. tariffs. But China says the duties are "discriminatory," according to a translation of a statement issued by the Chinese commerce ministry. China says it is disappointed by

China's new tariffs of nearly 76 per cent on Canadian canola takes effect

A new tariff of nearly 76 per cent on Canadian canola has come into effect today, threatening to hurt Canadian industry and farmers. Beijing's announcement on Tuesday has already sent the price of the Canadian crop plummeting, wiping out millions of dollars in value. China imposed the new duties after a year-long anti-dumping investigation. It launched the investigation in response to Canada's 100 per cent tariff on Chinese electric vehicles, after which the two countries had already imposed duties on each other.
