Can Pakistan’s Sohail Afridi win freedom for ex-PM Imran Khan?

Islamabad, Pakistan – On Wednesday, Sohail Afridi, the chief minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, sat at the head of a long table in Peshawar, hands clasped in front of him, and opened the 59th meeting of his cabinet.

He was dressed in black and leaned forward as he spoke. When he reached the sharpest lines of his address, his voice dropped and slowed rather than rose.
