Pakistan’s former Prime Minister Imran Khan marked his presence at a much-awaited court appearance in the capital city of Islamabad
Pakistan’s former Prime Minister Imran Khan marked his presence at a much-awaited court appearance on Saturday in the capital city of Islamabad, leaving after the scheduled proceedings. Clashes between supporters of Khan and the police broke out in Islamabad as Khan attempted to enter the capital’s High Court. Clashes also broke out in the city of Lahore. An arrest warrant for Khan was issued on Monday, requiring him to present before the court on Saturday.
A high-security judicial complex had been assigned for Khan’s appearance on the outskirts of the capital, with hundreds of riot police deployed in the area. Islamabad police said in a tweet that upon arrival at the complex, Khan’s supporters began to “pelt the police with stones,” and police responded with tear gas. Khan made his appearance after waiting five hours to enter the judicial complex.
