New Arrest Warrant Issued Against Imran Khan

Geo News reported today, Monday, that the Pakistan Election Commission has issued an arrest warrant against former Prime Minister Imran Khan, which does not allow for bail, marking the latest chapter in a series of legal troubles facing the cricket player turned politician. Pakistani authorities arrested Khan in May in connection with a corruption case, which sparked nationwide protests that resulted in casualties, before releasing him on bail days later. The specific charge leading to the arrest order by the Election Commission has not yet been clarified, nor is it known whether the police will act on the warrant. Geo News has not disclosed its source. Various institutions and courts have brought numerous charges against Khan since his ousting, including corruption, murder, and incitement to sedition. The latest case emerged last week when the Interior Minister stated that "the government will take criminal action against Khan for disclosing official secrets related to diplomatic correspondence between Washington and Islamabad."
