Former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan can be held for eight
days, a court ruled Wednesday, a day after the popular opposition
leader was dragged from a courtroom and arrested on corruption
charges, deepening the country’s political turmoil, Trend reports citing
AP.
Khan’s arrest Tuesday set off violent clashes involving his
supporters and police in several cities, including Islamabad, that
left at least six people dead, and his continued detention raised
the prospect of more unrest.
