Imran Khan Granted Bail after Supreme Court Ruling
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Pakistan’s former Prime Minister Imran Khan has been granted a two week bail by Islamabad High Court on Friday in a graft case.
Khan had earlier arrived in court after the Supreme Court ruled his arrest earlier this week “unlawful”.
The dramatic arrest on Tuesday triggered clashes with police and paramilitary forces across the country, killing nearly a dozen people. The army was called in to restore order.
Police in capital Islamabad have imposed an emergency order banning gathering of more than four people as Khan’s supporters are expected to march to the capital, Al Jazeera reported.
