Mr Khan had emerged after 11 days in hiding, having gone on the run to escape arrest in the aftermath of General Musharraf's declaration of emergency on 3 November. Until he was detained by police yesterday lunchtime, he was the last major political opponent of the general still not arrested or under detention. He was charged under Pakistan's Anti-Terrorism Act, which includes penalties that can carry the death sentence or life imprisonment.
Students manhandled Imran Khan in Lahore's Punjab University, apparently, including punching the ex-sportsman, a hero who led Pakistan's cricket team to victory in the 1992 world cup. What kind of 'students' are these? What are they studying???? What is happening to Pakistan???????
