The conflict between the Pakistan government and its chief challenger, former leader Imran Khan, has already sparked violence and tensions across the country.

The former cricket star is facing numerous corruption charges since he was forced from office last year and was freed from custody in May only after the country’s Supreme Court ruled his arrest had been illegal. He denies all the charges against him.

But the fight for justice in Pakistan is also being played in the UK.
