'Arrest expected': Former Pakistan PM Imran Khan in pre-recorded video

Former Prime Minister of Pakistan, Imran Khan, has been found guilty in the Toshakhana case and has been sentenced to three years in jail. In a pre-recorded video, the 70-year-old embattled former premier said that his arrest was expected. "My arrest was expected. I appeal to people not to hide in their homes silently and fight for their rights. I also want my party workers to remain peaceful, steadfast and strong," he said. Imran Khan was arrested on Saturday from his Lahore's Zaman Park residence after the Islamabad trial court sentenced him in absentia to three years in prison in a corruption case over the sale of expensive state gifts when he was in power. The move could disqualify him from contesting elections, at least, for five years.
