 Clashes between police and supporters of former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan broke out in the nation's capital on May 10, as a hearing was underway following Khan's arrest the day before. Law enforcement fired tear gas at Khan's supporters near a police facility in Islamabad where the former leader was being held in custody and where the court hearing following his arrest on corruption charges was taking place. Authorities in three of Pakistan's four provinces have imposed an emergency order banning all gatherings after Khan's supporters had attacked important state buildings and damaged private and public vehicles, according to police. The arrest of the former cricket hero and Pakistan's most popular politician according to opinion polls came at a precarious time for the nuclear-armed country that is facing a shortage of foreign exchange and a months-long delay of an IMF bailout.
