The Facts

• Pakistan's Information Minister Attaullah Tarar said Monday that former Prime Minister Imran Khan's political party — Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) — will be banned for its alleged anti-state activities.

• He said Pakistan's government decided to impose the ban based on the "proven" charge of the party accepting foreign funds from unlawful sources and the involvement of its cadre in last year's violent riots.

• The government will also bring treason charges against Khan, who was deposed by a no-confidence vote in parliament in 2022.
