Imran Khan Arrested: Ex-Prime Minister Sentenced to 3 Years in Jail

Former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan has been arrested in Lahore after a court sentenced him to three years in prison for illegally selling state gifts. The verdict could potentially bar Khan, a prominent opposition leader, from contesting the upcoming national election expected in November. Khan's arrest comes after a series of setbacks, including a falling out with the military and a splintering of his political party. He has denied wrongdoing and called for peaceful protests. Khan's party has filed an appeal to the Supreme Court, and his deputy will lead the party in his absence.
