The Supreme Court of Pakistan yesterday (11) ordered the immediate release of the former Prime Minister of Pakistan, Imran Khan, who was arrested and remanded before the Islamabad High Court. The Supreme Court ordered the immediate release of Imran, pointing out that his arrest was illegal. On the 9th, the former Agra drug addict came to the Islamabad High Court to appear in a case related to the corruption allegations levelled against him.
At that time, an additional battalion of the Pakistan Army, led by Pakistan’s National Accountability Bureau, which had arrived at the court, arrested Imran on several other corruption charges. The National Accountability Bureau of Pakistan presented Imran Khan to the Supreme Court yesterday (11), where the Supreme Court ordered that Imran’s arrest was illegal.
With the arrest of former Agragamathi Imran Khan, a wave of violent protests began across Pakistan. It is reported that eight members of Imran’s ‘Tariq e Insaf’ party who clashed with the security forces lost their lives and more than 1000 people were arrested. The number of injured in clashes with security forces is close to 2000. (Reuters)
