TL;DR Summary

Pakistan's ex-Prime Minister Imran Khan has been released on bail after being arrested on corruption charges, which led to widespread protests. The Supreme Court declared his arrest "unlawful" and instructed authorities to present him before the court. Khan has had dozens of cases registered against him in the past year, including corruption, terrorism, sedition, and blasphemy, since he was removed in April last year. He denies all accusations, calling them politically motivated. Several thousand of his supporters have rampaged through cities in protest of Khan's detention since Tuesday, setting fire to buildings, blocking roads, and clashing with police outside military installations.
