‘This is the law of the jungle’: Imran Khan claims Pakistan army ‘abducted’ him

Former Pakistan prime minister Imran Khan has spoken out after a court ordered his release and that he not be rearrested for at least two weeks.

Pakistan’s Supreme Court described his arrest this week as “invalid and unlawful" after it prompted outrage across the country.
