flag Imran Khan and wife sentenced to 17 years for mishandling state gifts from Saudi Arabia.

flag A Pakistani court has sentenced former Prime Minister Imran Khan and his wife, Bushra Bibi, to 17 years in prison in a graft case tied to the alleged improper handling of state gifts, including luxury items from Saudi Arabia worth millions. flag The court ruled they failed to follow regulations requiring the purchase or reporting of profits from such gifts, which were declared at a fraction of their market value. flag Khan and his allies have denounced the verdict as politically motivated, claiming judicial bias and a lack of due process. flag The ruling, part of multiple legal challenges since Khan’s removal from office in 2023, has drawn criticism from human rights groups and international observers concerned about judicial independence. flag The couple plans to appeal the decision.
