[Pakistan's police have charged the
country's former Prime Minister,
Imran Khan, under anti-terror laws.
Their investigation comes after
he accused the police and judiciary
of detaining and torturing a close aide.

Mr Khan's supporters gathered outside
his house vowing to "take over" if he was arrested.
However, he has now been granted
pre-arrest bail until Thursday.]

[Since being ousted from power in April,
Mr Khan has been a vocal critic of
the government and the country's army.

Police announced the charges after
the cricketer-turned-politician
accused authorities of torturing his close aide,
who is himself being detained under sedition charges.]

Well, this is very basic thinking, but I believe the support of him was largely based on his looks (years ago) and his so-called charisma.

Nothing to do with his political ability. :smug:

[bots]

how do you define political ability? What recent country leaders have had it for a sustained period? Thatcher and Blair come to mind here. Regan in the USA, Putin, and Xi Jinping are the only ones that come to mind across the whole world in the last 50 years

Khan now arrested

Pakistan's former prime minister Imran Khan has appeared before a judge, a day after his arrest on corruption charges sparked nationwide protests.

Nearly 1,000 people have been arrested, police say, since Mr Khan was held in Islamabad on charges which he denies.

There is tight security at the police guesthouse where he is being detained, which is serving as a courtroom.

The arrest dramatically escalated a political battle between Mr Khan and Pakistan's powerful military.

Conviction would disqualify him from standing for election.

At least two people died in violent protests that broke out in several cities across Pakistan following his arrest on Tuesday.

[Imran Khan: Former Pakistan PM
and wife Bushra Bibi jailed for corruption


Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi have
been jailed for 14 years, the second sentence
handed to Pakistan's former prime minister in two days.
The two sentences come just a week before
the South Asian country is due to hold
an election in which he
is barred from standing.

Khan, who was ousted as PM by his
opponents in 2022, is already serving
a three-year jail term for corruption.
He has said the numerous cases against
him are politically motivated.
Wednesday's court case revolved around
accusations over state gifts that he
and his wife received while in office,
while Tuesday's case - for which he
was sentenced to 10 years - for leaking
classified state documents.
It is thought the two sentences will run
concurrently, although that has
not been confirmed.

The court has also ordered the
couple to pay a fine of about
1.5 billion rupees (£4.2m;$5.3m).]

[joeysteele]

This really is sounding ridiculous.

Can Trump not be sent to Pakistan.
He'd have plenty genuine grievances as to its corrupt system there.

[bots]

the problem is that in a corrupt society, all the powerful people are at it, so where can it be decided who is more or less corrupt than anyone else. They have all used it to feather their own nests at one point or another, and it's just a roundabout continually spinning shining a light on the next victim. If Khan had actually achieved anything of note, there may have been an argument for him being hard done by, but he did nothing, made no attempt to correct the system, so he deserves zero sympathy

[Gusto Brunt]

it's such a dodgy, corrupt country

Yes, and I think even though they say he's been jailed. He probably isn't even in the country but in a plush hotel somewhere.

Pakistan has temporarily suspended mobile services as millions head to the polls to vote in a new government.

An interior ministry spokesman said the measure was warranted, citing recent incidents of terror in the country.

The election comes almost two years since the previous prime minister, cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan, was ousted in a no-confidence vote.

Three-time PM Nawaz Sharif is now on the ballot in what many analysts say is Pakistan's least credible election yet.

Both calls and data services have been suspended, though Wifi networks still appear to be working.

One voter told the BBC they were shocked at the decision, saying "voters should be facilitated instead of [having to be met with] such hurdles".

Another said she was expecting a blanket shut down.

Justifying the move, an Interior Ministry spokesman said, "As a result of the recent incidents of terrorism in the country, precious lives have been lost. Security measures are essential to maintain law and order situation and to deal with potential threats".

The shutdown was criticised by Bilawal Bhutto Zadari, son of murdered ex-Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, who called for services to be restored "immediately". Mr Bhutto, who is also running for the top job, said his Pakistan People's Party (PPP) had approached the election commission and the courts to get services restored.
