ISLAMABAD, Pakistan

A former prime minister of Pakistan was arrested on Thursday, as the government escalated what it describes as an anticorruption campaign and opposition parties have denounced as a political vendetta.

The former leader, Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, who remains a senior figure in the opposition Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz, was arrested at a highway toll plaza while on his way to a party news conference in the city of Lahore, and presented with a warrant accusing him of involvement in “corruption and corrupt practices.” The authorities did not immediately offer more details.
