A military court has convicted 25 people for involvement in pro-Imran Khan unrest last year, Pakistan's armed forces said.

Imran Khan's third wife guided protesters to the heart of the capital - and then disappeared.

The jailed former leader is calling on the protesters to stay in Islamabad until their demands are met.

The former PM has been in jail for more than a year but remains hugely popular.

Mr Khan applied for the role from prison in Pakistan, where he has been for over a year.

Protests and arrests mark the latest flashpoint in a fierce game of cat and mouse between Pakistan's political parties.

The former Prime Minister of Pakistan, who is in currently prison, plans to apply for the role.

Lt Gen Faiz Hameed's arrest is the first time a former spy chief has been detained in Pakistan.
