Former Pakistan prime minister Imran Khan appeared in court Wednesday on graft charges as violent nationwide protests over his arrest erupted for a second day. Khan was arrested during a routine hearing in the capital Islamabad Tuesday and whisked away to an unknown location overnight before appearing behind closed doors in a specially convened court at police headquarters. The drama follows months of political crisis during which Khan, who was ousted in April last year, has waged an unprecedented campaign against the country's powerful military. For more on Khan's arrest and the violent protests that followed, FRANCE 24 is joined by Dr. Farzana Shaikh, Associate Fellow of the Asia-Pacific Programme at Chatham House.
