In Pakistan, former Prime Minister Imran Khan has been arrested and sentenced to three years in prison for illegally selling state gifts. Khan has denied this and the dozens of other charges that were brought against him since he was removed in a no-confidence vote in April of last year. Before his arrest, Khan called on his supporters to keep protesting.

Imran Khan: “I have only one appeal: Don’t sit silently at home. I am struggling for you and for the country and your children’s future.”

Khan’s lawyer has accused Pakistan of “undeclared martial law” in their politically motivated targeting of the former leader, who will likely be barred from national elections that are supposed to take place this year.

In other news from Pakistan, a train derailment in the southern Sindh province Sunday killed at least 30 people and injured dozens. The death toll could rise as rescue operations continue.
