Arrest

A Pakistani court is extending a pause in the effort to arrest former Prime Minister Imran Khan in a graft case.

Violence erupted in Lahore on Tuesday when about 1,000 supporters of Khan clashed with police when they tried to arrest the former premier at his house in the upscale area of Zaman Park. Instead, he asked why Khan resisted when officers went to his house to arrest him. Khan also posed for cameras seated at a long table, showing off piles of spent tear gas shells he said had been collected from around his home. Despite the order, however, police and paramilitary rangers deployed for Khan’s arrest were not immediately withdrawn. The decision is a reprieve for Khan, who was due to be arrested a few hours earlier. It also asked Khan's legal team for talks to resolve the issue.

The move defused a surge in violence that saw Khan's supporters fighting pitch battles with security forces. Read more at straitstimes.com.

Punjab State Information Minister Amir Mir confirmed the court order. The violence, in which protesters torched police vehicles, a water-cannon truck and scores of cars and motorcycles and hurled petrol bombs at security forces firing tear gas and rubber bullets, subsided after the high court halted the police operation on Wednesday. On Tuesday and Wednesday, dozens of Khan’s supporters, armed with batons and slingshots, barricaded his home to prevent security forces from arresting him for failing to show up in court over a case in which he is charged with illegally selling state gifts given to him while he was prime minister.
