On Tuesday, former Prime Minister of Pakistan Imran Khan was arrested by agents from the country’s anti-corruption body, the National Accountability Bureau (NAB). Images of Khan being pulled by security forces towards an armored vehicle were broadcast on Pakistan’s independent GEO TV, drawing nationwide condemnation from Khan’s supporters. The NAB has not commented on the arrest, but has said that it is investigating Khan for alleged corruption and misuse of power, marking a dramatic escalation on Pakistan’s political scene.
