Pakistan’s former prime minister was arrested on Tuesday, just a day after the Pakistani military gave a tense declaration against him for the false accusation against a senior intelligence officer. The arrest was made at a court hearing in Islamabad by paramilitary armed forces.
There has been an escalation of political crises between Pakistan's current government and Mr Khan right from the time he was forced out of office last year which has now resulted in the country's unrest.
Imran Khan is facing many court cases that include corruption and terrorism charges after he was voted out of office last year in April. He has organised many rallies with his party to campaign for a new election and accused Pakistan's military for created the plan that ousted him from office. He also accused the government of Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif of misusing the justice system which his cabinet always denies.
The political drama surrounding Mr Khan seems only to have buoyed his popularity, analysts say, underscoring his unique ability to outmanoeuvre Pakistan’s typical playbook for sidelining political leaders who have fallen out of favour with the country’s powerful military.
巴基斯坦前總理伊姆蘭·汗被捕
巴基斯坦前總理週二被捕，就在一天前，巴基斯坦軍方就他誣告高級情報官員一事對他作出緊張聲明。 準軍事武裝部隊在伊斯蘭堡舉行的法庭聽證會上逮捕了他。
自去年汗先生被迫下台以來，巴基斯坦現任政府與汗先生之間的政治危機不斷升級，目前已導致該國動盪不安。
伊姆蘭汗在去年 4 月被選下台後面臨許多法庭案件，其中包括腐敗和恐怖主義指控。 他與他的政黨組織了多次集會，為新的選舉進行競選活動，並指責巴基斯坦軍方制定了將他趕下台的計劃。 他還指責總理沙赫巴茲·謝里夫 (Shahbaz Sharif) 的政府濫用其內閣一直否認的司法系統。
分析人士說，圍繞汗先生的政治鬧劇似乎只是提振了他的聲望，突顯出他具有獨特的能力，可以戰勝巴基斯坦的典型策略，讓那些已經失去該國強大軍方青睞的政治領導人靠邊站。
