In Pakistan, former Prime Minister Imran Khan was arrested earlier today in the capital Islamabad during a court appearance where he faces corruption charges. Security forces dragged Khan out of court and into a police vehicle. Allies denounced his arrest as an “abduction.” Khan was removed from office by Parliament in April of last year. In recent months, hundreds of his supporters blocked repeated attempts by Pakistani authorities to take Khan into custody. He’s denied the charges against him.
