TL;DR Summary

Former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan has called for nationwide "freedom" protests on Sunday after his brief arrest and detention last week triggered deadly unrest.

Khan distanced himself from the attacks against the military's installations at the protests, denying his party workers were involved and calling for an independent investigation into the violence.
