Former Pakistani PM Imran Khan and Wife Sentenced to 14 Years in Prison

Convictions come just over a week before Pakistan's general elections, with Khan's party facing major crackdowns.

Former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan and his wife, Bushra Bibi, have been sentenced to 14 years in prison each for selling state gifts while Khan was in office without properly disclosing it.
Khan was also convicted of revealing state secrets and sentenced to 10 years behind bars.
The couple was issued a $5.3 million fine and Khan was barred from holding public office for the next 10 years.
Khan's legal team denies the charges, accusing a 'kangaroo court' of holding 'sham,' rushed proceedings.
Pakistanis are set to vote on the National Assembly’s 342 seats next Thursday despite major crackdowns against the country’s main opposition party, Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party.
