Former Pakistan PM Imran Khan arrested during court appearance, sparking protests

The Hindu  

Former Prime Minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chairman Imran Khan was arrested on Tuesday from the Islamabad High Court where he appeared seeking bail in multiple corruption cases, triggering demonstrations across the country that saw his supporters vandalising buildings. Mr. Khan’s lawyer Ali Gohar alleged that the Rangers “tortured” the former Prime Minister during the arrest. Dated May 1 and signed by NAB chairman Lt. Gen. Nazir Ahmed, Mr. Khan’s arrest warrants said he was accused of corruption and corrupt practices under Section 9 of the National Accountability Ordinance, 1999. The Islamabad High Court, late in the evening, declared Mr. Khan’s arrest “legal”.
