Imran Khan

It has been a busy week for Pakistan’s former Prime Minister Imran Khan as his legal fortunes hang in the balance again. On Tuesday, one conviction was suspended – but he was not released from prison because, on Wednesday, he is due in a special court in a case with national security implications.

A high court in Pakistan has suspended former prime minister Imran Khan’s conviction on corruption charges, which saw him arrested and sentenced to three years in jail earlier this month.
The court has also ordered Khan’s release on bail, his lawyers said.
It does not appear likely that the 70-year-old will be released from prison today, however, after a special court directed he be kept in judicial custody in relation to a separate case under the country’s Official Secrets Act.
An order said he would be produced before the Islamabad court on Wednesday 30 August.
The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader has been in prison since 5 August on charges of unlawfully selling state gifts during his tenure as prime minister from 2018 to 2022.
