Pakistani police say nearly a thousand people have been arrested in Punjab province this week, while across the country mass protests have descended into violent clashes. The spark that lit the fire was the arrest of the country’s former prime minister and cricket star Imran Khan. Furious Khan supporters are taking to the streets, bringing to a head the year-long political standoff with the country’s powerful military, since Khan was ousted as leader last April.
