  • Deadly unrest in Pakistan surged on Wednesday as Imran Khan, the former prime minister, was indicted on charges of selling state gifts during his time in power. Supporters of Khan clashed with police in major Pakistani cities, leading to arrests and violent protests. Khan, a popular politician and former cricket hero, denies any wrongdoing and his lawyer, Babar Awan, called his arrest a state abduction. The country is currently dealing with a severe economic crisis, making the situation even more precarious. Khan's political party, PTI, has called for a shutdown across the country, resulting in mobile data services being shut down and restricted access to social media platforms. The army has been called in to restore order in provinces where Khan has significant support. The protests have caused damage to businesses and innocent civilians have been affected. Khan's arrest came after he publicly accused a senior military officer of attempting to assassinate him and accused the former armed forces chief of being behind his removal from power.
