Former Pakistan Prime Minister, Imran Khan, who was ousted from his position, has been handed a three-year jail sentence following corruption allegations, which he vehemently denies.
The verdict was delivered by a court in Islamabad, which found him guilty of failing to disclose income obtained from the sale of state gifts.
The presiding judge issued an order for his immediate arrest, and Imran Khan’s lawyer, Intazar Hussain, confirmed that the former PM was taken into custody from his residence in Lahore.
In response to the ruling, Mr. Khan’s team has announced their intention to appeal the decision, continuing their efforts to contest the charges leveled against him.
