Imran Khan's Arrest Sparks Violence and Protests in Pakistan
Pakistan's former Prime Minister Imran Khan was arrested and dragged from court Tuesday as he appeared to face charges in multiple graft cases, sparking violent demonstrations by his angry supporters in almost all of the country's major cities. The arrest of Khan, who was ousted in a no-confidence vote in April 2022 but remains the leading opposition figure, represented the latest confrontation to roil Pakistan, which has seen former prime ministers arrested over the years and interventions by its powerful military.
