In Pakistan, nearly 1,000 people have been arrested as protests broke out following the arrest of former Prime Minister Imran Khan Tuesday. His supporters gathered today as Khan made another appearance at an Islamabad court, where he was indicted for selling state gifts during his premiership between 2018 and 2022. A court yesterday ruled his arrest was lawful, as his legal team continues to fight the charges. Former U.K. Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn called Khan’s arrest a “dark day for democracy.” Authorities have shut down social media sites, while a judge is set to rule on a request for permission to detain Khan for at least 14 days. This is one of Khan’s supporters.

Khan supporter: “What they have done, is this not hooliganism? Is this not terrorism? Imran Khan had gone to appear before court. Now, where is Supreme Court? Where is High Court? Where are the judges?”
