Former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan was arrested on Tuesday on multiple corruption charges. Paramilitary troops smashed their way into a courthouse in Islamabad to detain Khan in a dramatic and sudden arrest. The country’s anti-corruption agency, the National Accountability Bureau, brought charges against him. Khan was submitting his biometric data for a court appearance when paramilitary forces broke down a window to get to him before apprehending him. The arrest was captured on video by Khan’s party Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI). In a pre-recorded statement released on YouTube by PTI after his arrest, Khan said he was “detained on incorrect charges” and appealed to his supporters to come out for their fundamental rights. PTI spokesperson Fawad Chaudhry described Khan’s arrest as an “abduction” and said he had been “whisked away by unknown people to an unknown location.” Khan has faced a growing raft of legal cases filed against him and multiple arrest warrants have been made, triggering confrontations with his supporters.
