Imran Khan’s prison sentence in Pakistan suspended

A court in Pakistan has stopped former Prime Minister Imran Khan from going to prison and facing corruption charges. However, it’s not sure if he will be released from jail.

The former cricket player who became a politician was sent to jail for three years in August because he was found guilty of being involved in corrupt activities. He lost his position in parliament last year before being sent to prison.

Khan is in jail in Attock. He is accused of many cases of corruption, but he strongly denies the accusations.

Because Khan was found guilty, he cannot participate in elections for five years.
Khan says he did not do anything wrong and has asked for a second chance to prove his innocence.

On Tuesday morning, Khan’s lawyer Naeem Panjutha announced on Twitter that our request to delay the punishment has been approved, and the punishment is no longer in effect.

There is some disagreement about whether Khan will be let go after the High Court’s decision because there are other court orders saying he can be arrested in different cases.

It is also not easy to understand how the ban on him running for elections will be impacted.

The Islamabad High Court made a decision soon after the Supreme Court of Pakistan noticed problems with the way Khan’s trial was carried out.

The PTI of Khan requested banning the authorities from arresting him again.

However, the ex prime minister still has many legal cases against him, such as being accused of helping someone commit murder, sharing confidential government information, and planning and leading violent protests.

He has already been taken into custody because he is suspected of sharing secret information and endangering the safety of our country.

Khan believes that the accusations against him are a result of a plot supported by western countries to take away his position of authority.

Last week, a special court in Lahore gave permission to the police to arrest and question Khan for his involvement in the violence that happened after the opposition leader was briefly detained in May this year.
