Imran Khan, Former PM of Pakistan, Urges for Further Protests with Defiant Attitude

Former Pakistani prime minister Imran Khan called for nationwide protests after his release on bail following his arrest earlier this week. Khan’s supporters reacted to his detention by setting fire to government buildings and damaging military property. He has called for immediate elections and for his supporters to hold protests across the country. Khan, who was ousted from power last year, has waged a campaign of defiance against the military. At least nine people died in the unrest this week, with hundreds of police officers injured and more than 4,000 people detained.
