Pakistan’s ex-Prime Minister Imran Khan was violently apprehended by military rangers following his appearance before the High Court in Islamabad on charges of corruption on Tuesday; one of the many cases brought against him ever since his removal from power in April 2022, according to what the police announced.
The former PM was abducted as he was exiting the High Court,following which he was pepper sprayed and kicked. He was also dragged from his wheelchair and made to walk on his already injured legs. The lawyers accompanying him had suffered various injuries as well.
A mass unrest followed Imran’s abrupt arrest, mainly from his supporters who lamented “the death of Democracy in Pakistan”, claiming that his life was in “acute danger” as they worried for the resurfacing of another “Morsi case” where he would be imprisoned, tortured, and eliminated.
