Imran Khan, Former Pakistani PM, Sentenced to Prison for Corruption

Former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan has been sentenced to three years in jail for corruption, potentially ending his political career. Khan, a national cricketing hero and leading opposition figure, was found guilty of concealing assets after selling state gifts. The conviction could bar him from politics and result in him losing the chairmanship of his party. Critics argue that the efforts to imprison Khan are politically motivated, as his popularity and ability to mobilize large crowds pose a threat to the ruling coalition and the country's powerful military. Khan is currently being held in the harsh conditions of Attock prison, known for housing convicted militants.
