In Pakistan, former Prime Minister Imran Khan has been released on bail on orders from the Islamabad High Court after Pakistan’s Supreme Court Thursday ruled his arrest was “invalid and unlawful.” Khan is accused of multiple corruption charges, and his arrest has sparked widespread protests. At least eight people have been killed and some 2,000 arrested in the ensuing violence. As Khan’s supporters prepared to march on the capital, police issued an emergency order banning gatherings by more than four people.
