Former Prime Minister of Pakistan Imran Khan has been arrested and given a three-year jail sentence for corruption. The court ruling stated that Khan had concealed assets after selling state gifts. Police swiftly took Khan from his home in Lahore to Islamabad. This is the second time this year that Khan has been detained, and the prison sentence could prevent him from participating in this year's elections. His party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, plans to challenge the decision. Khan's arrest comes as efforts to imprison him have intensified due to his popularity and ability to mobilize large crowds.
