TL;DR Summary

Imran Khan, Pakistan's main opposition leader and former prime minister, has been arrested after a court found him guilty of corruption charges and sentenced him to three years in prison. The arrest comes just days before the expected dissolution of parliament and a general election. Khan's legal team plans to appeal the ruling, but if upheld, it could lead to him being banned from running for office. Khan, who denies the accusations, had anticipated his arrest and urged his supporters to protest. This is not the first time Khan has faced corruption charges, and he also faces other pending cases.
