TL;DR Summary

Pakistani police have surrounded the home of former Prime Minister Imran Khan, claiming he is sheltering dozens of people allegedly involved in violent protests over his recent detention. Khan's supporters had attacked public property and military installations after he was dragged out of a courtroom and detained. The police deployment is likely to anger Khan's followers and raises concerns about more clashes between them and the security forces. Pakistani authorities have said they would prosecute civilians involved in recent anti-government protests in military courts, a move criticized by Amnesty International and the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan.
