Supporters of the ruling government in Pakistan planned a sit-in in front of the Supreme Court in the capital Islamabad on Monday, in protest of the release of former Prime Minister and opposition leader Imran Khan, broadcaster Geo TV reported.

The protesters, mainly consisting of workers and supporters of the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) party, marched towards Islamabad's Red Zone which houses government buildings where they intended to demonstrate against the Supreme Court's decision.

Police only arrested 1 person who allegedly stole a total of 8 cell phones from demonstrators.

The Islamabad High Court freed on bail Khan on May 12, after his "unlawful" arrest on corruption accusations this week provoked massive protests.

Khan was also granted bail in other ongoing matters. He was due to appear in court today shortly after the Supreme Court nullified the arrest and ordered his immediate release.

The former Premier's arrest followed months of political crisis and came hours after the powerful military criticized the former PM for accusing a senior officer of being involved in a plot to assassinate him.

Thousands of his supporters took to the streets in protest of his arrest and were met with a brutal police crackdown, resulting in the death of a few of them.

Khan told AFP from the court building that the "head of the country's largest party was abducted, kidnapped from the high court, and in front of the entire nation."

"They treated me like a terrorist, this had to have a reaction."

Nearly 1,000 people have been detained in Punjab since protests broke out following the arrest of Khan.
