Pak police detain 1,500 in crackdown on Opposition
In a nation-wide crackdown, Pakistani police arrested over 1,500 supporters of opposition leader Imran Khan, officials said. This comes ahead of an opposition rally, 'Occupy Islamabad', planned for November 2 in the country's capital. The anti-government protest seeks the resignation of PM Nawaz Sharif over revelations in the Panama Papers, which link him to million-dollar offshore accounts.
