Pakistan’s Imran Khan Granted Protection from Arrest as Government Considers Banning His Party

Pakistan's former Prime Minister Imran Khan was granted protection from arrest in multiple cases as he presses his legal battle against his ouster.
Khan faces over 100 legal cases against him, including charges of graft and terrorism, since being removed from power in April last year.
A crackdown on Khan's supporters has led to violent protests and several key leaders leaving his party.
Pakistan's government is considering banning Khan's party for attacking the state, a move likely to further inflame tensions.
Khan's confrontation with Pakistan's military establishment has raised fears about the country's stability.
