Violent clashes in Pakistan after former prime minister Imran Khan was arrested

Violent clashes have broken out in Pakistan between security forces and supporters of former prime minister Imran Khan after he was arrested.

At least one person has been killed amid the chaos, with the United States and UK calling for adherence to the “rule of law”.

Khan was arrested by security forces at the High Court in the capital, Islamabad.

Dozens of officers were sent to detain the 70-year-old, who was taken to a vehicle and driven away.

He is appearing in court on charges of corruption, charges he says are politically motivated.

The interior minister ordered mobile data services in the country to be suspended on Friday as protests grew, with many of them taking place in front of army compounds.

Pakistan’s army plays a prominent role in politics, sometimes seizing power in military coups.

Many believe Khan’s 2018 election win happened with the help of the military.

Now in opposition, he is one of its most vocal critics, as the army’s popularity falls.

State TV quoted an official as saying at least one passenger and one crew member had been in contact with rescuers. It also said the helicopter had been found, though Iran’s Red Crescent denied this report.

Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who holds ultimate power with a final say on foreign policy and Iran’s nuclear programme, sought to reassure Iranians, saying there would be no disruption to state affairs. #iran #trending

Published

on

Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.

The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.

The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.

Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.
