Imran Khan, Former Pakistan PM, Sentenced to Three Years in Jail for Corruption

Former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan has been sentenced to three years in prison and disqualified from holding political office after being found guilty in a corruption trial. The trial relates to the unlawful selling of state gifts during Khan's tenure as prime minister. Khan's party, PTI, has lodged an appeal in the Supreme Court against the decision. Khan, who denies any wrongdoing, has been leading a campaign against the current government, accusing it of colluding with the military to remove him from office. The verdict means Khan will be unable to participate in upcoming elections.
