Ex-PM Khan defuses political stand-off with court appearance in Pakistan.

TL;DR Summary
Former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan will appear in court on Saturday after the high court in Islamabad cancelled an arrest warrant issued for him. Khan is facing charges of unlawfully selling state gifts given to him by foreign dignitaries during his term as prime minister. Attempts by security forces to arrest him earlier this week led to clashes with his supporters. Khan denies the charges and has been demanding a snap election since being ousted from office last year. The political infighting comes as Pakistan struggles with an economic crisis and awaits a $1.1 billion bailout package from the IMF.
