In Pakistan, a court has sentenced former Prime Minister Imran Khan to 10 years in prison, accusing him of leaking state secrets. Khan has rejected the charges against him as politically motivated. He is already serving a three-year prison sentence on corruption charges. Shah Mahmood Qureshi, former foreign minister and a top official in Imran Khan’s PTI party, has also been sentenced to 10 years. This all comes one week ahead of February 8 elections, which Khan has been barred from. Khan was ousted as prime minister in 2022, blaming the military and rival parties for plotting against him.
