Imran Khan granted bail by Pakistani court.

Former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan has been granted bail by Islamabad's highest court after his arrest on corruption charges by the National Accountability Bureau (NBI) sparked deadly protests against the country's military. Khan's party had filed a petition to challenge the charges against him, and Pakistan's Supreme Court ruled his arrest was unlawful. Khan accused the army chief of being behind his arrest, and his arrest led to protests and the deaths of at least eight people. The crisis comes as Pakistan grapples with an acute economic crisis and is an election year for the country.
