  • Officials say a Pakistani court has indicted imprisoned former Prime Minister Imran Khan and dozens of his associates on charges of inciting people to attack military and government installations last

The article from The Washington Post discusses the political turmoil in Pakistan involving former Prime Minister Imran Khan. Khan, who was ousted from power in April 2022, has been indicted on charges related to violence against military installations during protests following his arrest in May. These protests, which saw significant clashes between Khan's supporters and security forces, have led to a severe crackdown on his Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party. Khan faces multiple legal battles, including allegations of corruption, terrorism, and now inciting violence. The military, a powerful entity in Pakistani politics, has been accused by Khan of orchestrating his removal and the subsequent charges against him. This situation has deepened the political crisis in Pakistan, with Khan's supporters viewing the charges as politically motivated to sideline him from politics ahead of upcoming elections. Meanwhile, the government and military assert that they are merely upholding the law, pointing to the violence as justification for their actions against PTI.
