Islamabad | Hundreds of supporters of Pakistan’s former prime minister, Imran Khan, gathered on Monday outside his hilltop mansion in the capital Islamabad, vowing to prevent his arrest on anti-terrorism charges, officials of his political party said.
Charges drawn up against him on Sunday came a day after Mr Khan, a former cricket star who was ousted from power in a no-confidence vote in April, gave an impassioned speech to hundreds of supporters at a rally in the capital condemning the recent arrest of one of his top aides, who faces sedition charges for inciting mutiny in the powerful military and threatening senior police officers and a judge involved in the case.
