Pakistan's military has swayed many elections. Now it's going full tilt.

Pakistan's powerful military is using a familiar playbook to sideline its nemesis, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), in the upcoming national election. PTI candidates have been detained, relatives arrested, and homes ransacked. The military has prevented PTI candidates from campaigning, censored news coverage, and used internet blackouts. The crackdown has made this election among the least credible in Pakistan's history.
