Pakistan's former Prime Minister Imran Khan was charged under the country's antiterrorism act Sunday for allegedly threatening senior police and a judge in a speech, per multiple reports.
Why it matters: The charge is a significant escalation in the struggle for power between the former cricket great and the current government following Khan's April ouster from power in a no-confidence vote, and there are concerns the action may spark fresh unrest in Pakistan, the New York Times notes.
