UN Panel Calls for Immediate Release of Former Pakistan PM Imran Khan

UN experts deem Imran Khan's detention arbitrary and in violation of international law, urging Pakistan to comply with international norms.

The UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention demands Khan's immediate release and compensation.
Experts state Khan's imprisonment lacks legal basis and aims to disqualify him from politics.
Khan has faced over 200 legal cases since his ousting in 2022, which he claims are politically motivated.
The UN group highlights a broader campaign of repression against Khan and his PTI party.
Pakistan's government and election commission deny allegations of election rigging and legal manipulation.
