Former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan's bail on corruption charges was extended again on June 19, after he urged supporters to take to the streets if he is rearrested. Khan's brief detention last month on graft charges sparked days of deadly violence as thousands of his followers rampaged through cities, setting fire to buildings and clashing with police. He was freed from custody after the Supreme Court declared the arrest illegal, but he says the government still plans to detain him to quash his momentum ahead of elections due by October.

RFE/RL has been declared an "undesirable organization" by the Russian government.
