Islamabad, Pakistan – In a major victory for former Prime Minister Imran Khan, the Pakistan Supreme Court on Thursday ordered his release from custody. Khan was arrested on Tuesday on corruption charges, but the court ruled that his arrest was illegal and that he should be released immediately.
The court’s decision is a major setback for the current government of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, which had been hoping to use the corruption charges against Khan to weaken his political standing. Khan has denied the allegations of corruption and has called the case politically motivated.
The court’s decision is likely to further deepen the political crisis in Pakistan. Khan has vowed to continue his protests against the government, and it remains to be seen how the government will respond.
The court’s decision has been met with mixed reactions from the public. Some people have welcomed the decision, while others have expressed concern that it could further destabilize the country.
It remains to be seen what the long-term impact of the court’s decision will be. However, it is clear that the political situation in Pakistan is still very fluid and that there is no clear path.
