Pakistan's former prime minister Imran khan sentenced to 14 years in prison || Imran khan 2.0 ||

Former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan has been sentenced to 14 years in prison on corruption charges. His wife, Bushra Bibi, received a seven-year sentence. The convictions stem from allegations that they illegally acquired valuable land through a deal with property tycoon Malik Riaz. The verdict was delivered by a specially established court in Rawalpindi prison, where Khan has been detained since August 2023. Khan's political party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), contends that these legal actions are politically motivated attempts to prevent his return to power. They argue that the verdict demonstrates a lack of judicial independence and have announced plans to appeal the decision. Khan maintains that he will not seek deals or relief for his release, framing his legal battles as resistance against dictatorship. This conviction adds to a series of legal challenges Khan has faced since his ousting as prime minister in April 2022. He has been involved in numerous court cases, which he attributes to military and political adversaries. Despite previous convictions being overturned, Khan remains entangled in legal battles amid claims of corruption and political persecution.
