عمران خان - منذ إطاحته إلى اعتقاله

By Jordi Bou

May 10, 2023 - دافع رئيس الوزراء الباكستاني السابق عمران خان عن نفسه بأنه غير مذنب في تهم فساد بعد يوم من اعتقاله الذي أثار احتجاجات عنيفة في جميع أنحاء البلاد.

Nearly 1,000 people have been arrested, police say, and eight people have died nationwide in the protests.

Tuesday’s arrest of the former cricket hero, and Pakistan’s most popular politician according to opinion polls, came at a precarious time for the country that is facing a shortage of foreign exchange and a months-long delay of an IMF bailout.

His arrest came a day after the powerful military rebuked him for repeatedly accusing a senior military officer of trying to engineer his assassination and the former armed forces chief of being behind his removal from power last year.
