Imran Khan arrested

Imran Khan has been arrested, as he appeared at a student protest in Lahore (at Punjab University). Sky News, which had been allowed back on briefly, has now been taken off the air because it broadcast an interview with Imran just before he was arrested.

I think this will give the student movement a lot of energy. They love Imran.

Update: The drama behind Imran's arrest is truly revolting. It was the Jamaati students of Punjab University who first captured Imran and kept him in custody on campus (and beat him and his associates up), and then turned him over on a platter to the police. What is more ironic is that just last night I was listening to a radio show (on VOA) in which Imran Khan and Qazi Hussain Ahmed were the guests, and Imran was agreeing quite wholeheartedly with Mr. Jamaat-i-Islami. If nothing else, perhaps this will cure Imran of his mullahism.
