Widespread protests possible as former PM's arrest adds tension to Pakistan's febrile political climate
With the former cricket star facing more than 150 charges, there has been a sense of inevitability that he would be arrested again and strong whispers in recent days that it was imminent.There is a chance that once again the supreme court intervenes and Mr Khan's legal team wins its appeal against the three-year sentence.Mr Khan wasn't in court this time to hear of his fate. This time, police moved in to arrest him at his house in Lahore.
The question is whether he continues to inspire enough support for people to risk taking to the streets in large numbers, knowing the risk that comes with it.
