Imran Khan's Arrest Sparks Political Turmoil and Calls for Protests in Pakistan

TL;DR Summary
Former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan has called for nationwide protests after his arrest on Tuesday triggered deadly protests across the country. Khan, who has been slapped with a slew of cases since he was removed from power last April, was freed on bail on Friday after his detention in a corruption case was declared unlawful by the top court. Several top leaders of Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party still remain under arrest. The military has historically intervened, citing economic or political instability in the country.
