The former Pakistani prime minister, Imran Khan, is facing terrorism charges in Islamabad.
He was charged under Pakistan's stringent anti-terrorism laws for condemning Islamabad’s chief of police and a female judge, after claims his close political aide was arrested and tortured.
Since he lost power in April, he’s been addressing huge political rallies, where he’s told the crowds that he was brought down by a conspiracy organised by the current government, state powers, and the USA.
Most political analysts believe his rhetoric is a cynical ploy, but tens of thousands of his supporters believe it.
It’s the latest twist in his journey from superstar cricketer and socialite, to Islamist, populist statesman. But how did he climb to power, how did he lose it, and what could happen next?
