Imran Khan in jail

Pakistan’s former prime minister Imran Khan has been arrested after a court in Islamabad sentenced him to three years in jail and banned him from politics for five years for 'corrupt practices' involving the sale of state gifts.

In a video message Khan had recorded before his arrest and which was later released on Twitter, he called on his party members and followers to take to the streets in protest.

He said if people were watching the video it meant he had been arrested and imprisoned. He said his political struggle was not for himself but for the country and its future.
