Pakistani Court Extends Pause In Arresting Former Prime Minister Khan

Supporters of former Prime Minister Imran Khan take cover after riot police fired tear gas to disperse them during clashes in Lahore on March 15.

A Pakistani court on March 16 extended a pause in the effort to arrest former Prime Minister Imran Khan, a sign of easing tension in the country's cultural capital after clashes erupted this week when police tried to detain him. The decision is a reprieve for Khan, who was due to be arrested a few hours earlier. The Lahore High Court ordered police to suspend the plan to arrest the 70-year-old opposition leader until March 17. It also asked Khan's legal team for talks to resolve the issue.
