Imran Khan Convicted and Arrested, Fuels Speculation

Former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan has been arrested at his home in Lahore after being found guilty of corruption and sentenced to three years in jail. Khan, who has faced multiple politically motivated court cases since being removed from power, was not present during the sentencing. Following his arrest, Khan called for peaceful protests in a video statement posted on social media. His jailing is unlikely to ease the economic and political unrest that has plagued Pakistan for the past 18 months.
