Pakistan: High-security alert in Islamabad & Rawalpindi, Imran Khan shifted to Attock jail after handed 3-year sentence
Police have declared a high-security alert in Islamabad and Rawalpindi amid apprehensions of protests after the court’s verdict, Pakistan-based ARY News reported. Security has been beefed up after Imran Khan’s PTI party called for peaceful protests across the country within the ambit of the law and the Constitution. However, scores of party supporters and the public reportedly hit the street in support of the ex-Pakistan Prime Minister.
Khan was shifted to Attock jail in Pakistan’s Punjab province amid tight security on Saturday after a trial court found the former prime minister guilty of “corrupt practices” in a corruption case and sentenced him to three years in prison.
