Overview

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

A Pakistani court sentenced former Prime Minister Imran Khan to 14 years in prison for corruption related to land acquisitions, alongside a 7-year sentence for his wife, Bushra Bibi. Prosecutors allege Khan accepted land from businessman Malik Riaz in exchange for laundering £190 million returned to Pakistan by British authorities. Khan denies wrongdoing, citing political motivations behind the charges. His party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), plans to appeal the ruling. Khan's incarceration follows his ousting from power in April 2022, amid a landscape marked by political instability and ongoing protests from his supporters.
