The 70-year-old was released on bail and given protection from arrest until later this month

CONVOYS OF BUSES and vehicles filled with Pakistani government supporters have flooded the main road leading to the country’s capital to protest against the release of former prime minister Imran Khan.

The Pakistan People’s Party led by Bilawal Bhutto Zardari — the son of assassinated prime minister Benazir Bhutto — is also joining the protest. From his home in the eastern city of Lahore, where he returned following his release, Khan claimed in a tweet today that the sit-in is being orchestrated to remove the Supreme Court’s chief justice.

A year after his ousting, Khan, a former cricket star turned Islamist politician, is still widely popular in Pakistan.
