Former Pakistani PM Imran Khan Gets Court Protection Against Arrest

Former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan was granted protective bail by a court in the eastern city of Lahore on February 20, providing him respite from arrest for two weeks in a case that involves charges under the country's anti-terrorism laws. Khan has had a number of cases registered against him since a parliamentary vote ousted him from power last year. The cases range from gathering illegal funds for his political party to inciting violence against state officials. Khan appeared before the Lahore High Court along with hundreds of supporters, witnesses said.
