Pakistan's former Prime Minister Imran Khan pressed his legal battle on May 23 before a court in the capital, Islamabad, which granted him protection from arrest until early next month in several cases where he faces terrorism charges for inciting violence. The development comes as the authorities have been cracking down on supporters of Khan, now Pakistan's top opposition leader. Thousands staged violent protests, and attacked public property and military installations following Khan's arrest earlier this month. The violence subsided only days later, after Khan was released. Ten people were killed in clashes with the police.
