Pakistan Supreme Court Accepts Imran Khan's Bail Plea

Former Prime Minister continues legal battles amidst political turmoil and economic crisis.

Imran Khan, former Prime Minister of Pakistan, has had his bail application accepted by the Supreme Court.
Khan is currently jailed on charges of unlawfully selling state gifts during his tenure as Prime Minister from 2018 to 2022.
Despite his conviction, Khan's party will compete in the upcoming February 8 general election against the party of Nawaz Sharif, another former prime minister.
The Islamabad High Court declared illegal Khan's trial on charges of leaking state secrets, stating it did not meet legal requirements.
Pakistan's political turmoil coincides with the country's most severe economic conditions in decades, raising concerns for the future of the nation of 241 million people.
