TL;DR Summary

Imran Khan, the opposition leader in Pakistan, is facing increasing isolation as key aides and supporters defect under pressure from the military. His party, the Movement for Justice, has been forced to a halt after military installations and symbols were vandalized during protests following Khan's arrest on charges of financial corruption. The army has ordered alleged rioters to be tried in military courts, and scores of Khan's aides, party legislators, and longtime supporters have abruptly announced they are quitting. The crisis has thrown plans for national elections in October into uncertainty, leaving the country without an elected leader for months.
