The former PM is due to face a hearing on corruption charges, a day after his dramatic arrest.
Police said Mr Khan's hearing on graft charges will take place where he is under custodyPakistan remains on edge ahead of former prime minister Imran Khan's hearing on corruption charges, a day after his dramatic arrest.A police guest house has been declared a "courtroom" for the hearing on Wednesday, local authorities said.
Pictures early on Wednesday local time showed lines of officers forming in front of the police guest house in the capital Islamabad. Mobile internet services remain inaccessible across the country. Pakistan's telecommunication authorities said they had suspended services on instructions from the interior ministry.
Mr Khan's supporters have also taken to the streets in the UK, US and Canada, among other countries, following his detention. Many analysts believe Mr Khan's election win in 2018 happened with the help of the military. But now in opposition, he has become one of the military's most vocal critics. "My Pakistanis, by the time these words reach you I would have been detained under an illegitimate case," he says in the video.
