Imran Khan's Arrest Ruled Illegal by Pakistan's Top Court.

Pakistan's Supreme Court has ruled that the arrest of opposition leader and former prime minister Imran Khan earlier this week was unlawful. While Khan still faces other charges, the decision is a major victory for the politician, who has portrayed himself as the victim of a plot. The government may still seek to hold Khan, but the ruling may also be a way out for the government after spiralling unrest in the country. The arrest had prompted days of violent clashes in Pakistan, with dozens injured, several people killed, and hundreds arrested.
