Pakistan’s former Prime Minister Imran Khan will appear before the Islamabad Court after his pre-arrest bail ends.

Khan appeared in court in person on August 25 and was given bail for one week.

The charges relate to a speech given on August 20 at a rally in Islamabad.

Officials accuse Khan of breaching the country’s anti-terrorism act for allegedly making threats against state officials.

His party, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, says the accusations are politically motivated.
