January 31, 2024



The state court in Pakistan has sentenced the embattled former Prime Minister Imran Khan to an additional 14 years in prison for graft, just a day after he was given a 10-year term for leaking state secrets. His wife, Bushra Bibi, was also handed a 14-year jail sentence related to the case involving gifts while Khan was in office.”Another unfortunate day in our judicial system’s history, which is being dismantled,” a spokesperson for Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), the largest political party in the country, said in a statement.Khan, a prominent figure in Pakistani politics for many years, and his supporters claim that the charges and arrests are politically motivated. Once the captain of Pakistan’s national cricket team, the now 71-year-old politician became prime minister in 2018 before being ousted from office on corruption charges in 2022 and later arrested in 2023. He was already serving a three-year prison sentence on a corruption conviction.This is a developing news story, please check back later for updates.
