Former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan calls for new demonstrations in the country. Khan was arrested last Tuesday by dozens of armed elements during a routine appearance before an Islamabad court in a corruption case.
The arrest of Khan sparked violent clashes in several Pakistani cities between his supporters and security forces. At least nine people were killed during the clashes, according to hospitals and police. Hundreds of police officers were injured and more than 9,4 people were arrested, mostly in the provinces of Punjab and its capital, Lahore (east), and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (northwest)
