Imran Khan's Jail Sentence Suspended Pending Appeal

The former Pakistani PM and his wife's conviction in the Toshakhana case is on hold until after Eid, amidst ongoing legal and political battles.

  • A Pakistani court has suspended former Prime Minister Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi's 14-year jail sentence in the Toshakhana case, pending appeal after the Eid holidays.
  • The suspension follows a series of legal battles for Khan, who has faced over 200 cases since his fall from power, including a 10-year term for revealing state secrets.
  • Khan's party alleges the charges were politically motivated, aimed at keeping him out of politics, a claim the army denies.
  • The Toshakhana case involved Khan and his wife illegally selling state gifts received during his tenure as prime minister.
  • Khan remains in jail due to multiple other sentences, despite the recent suspension of his and his wife's sentence in the Toshakhana case.
