Radio National Breakfast — Separate stories podcast - A podcast by ABC listen - Wednesdays

Bushra Bibi, the reclusive wife of jailed cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan has emerged on the global stage as a key Pakistan protest leader. Quiet has descended on the streets of Islamabad following last week's mass protest march which led to deadly clashes between security forces and the former prime minister's supporters who were demanding his release from prison. And now, Bushra Bibi appears to have disappeared. Guest: Professor Samin Yasmeen, Director of the Centre for Muslim States and Societies at the University of Western Australia
