Pakistan’s Supreme Court Declares Arrest of Former PM Imran Khan ‘Illegal,’ Orders Immediate Release

Pakistan: The corruption case that led to the arrest of former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan led to violent protests all over the country. The government had to call in the army to help restore order. However, the country’s top court has now declared Khan’s arrest as “illegal,” paving the way for the immediate release of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief.

Khan’s Arrest and Subsequent Court Appearance

Khan was presented before the court amid tight security, with a convoy of 15 vehicles transporting him. Upon entering the courtroom, the bench resumed the hearing of the case, and Umar Ata Bandial, the Chief Justice of Pakistan, was outraged at the manner in which Khan was taken from the Islamabad high court.

Khan’s Response to the Court’s Decision

Khan informed the court that he was “abducted” from the Islamabad high court premises and beaten with sticks. He was arrested on the orders of the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) in a corruption case, and the country’s paramilitary Rangers entered the court to arrest him. The Chief Justice questioned how anyone could be arrested on court property, given that 90 to 100 Rangers officers entered the court for the purpose of the arrest.
