Pakistan's supreme court says Imran Khan's arrest was illegal and orders his release

Pakistani authorities arrested a senior leader of former Prime Minister Imran Khan's party, Shah Mahmood Qureshi, as the government deployed the army to end the deadly unrest sparked by Khan's arrest.
The violence sparked by Khan's arrest has aggravated instability in the country, which is already grappling with a severe economic crisis and a delay to an International Monetary Fund bailout since November.
Pakistan's Supreme Court has ruled that Khan's arrest on corruption charges was illegal, ordering his immediate release and triggering violent protests that have left at least 10 people dead and 2,000 arrested.
