"Imran Khan, Former Pakistan PM, Sentenced to 10 Years in Prison for State Secrets Case"

Former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan and his deputy have been sentenced to 10 years in prison for revealing official secrets, adding to the political turmoil ahead of the upcoming parliamentary elections. Khan, who is already serving a three-year prison sentence in a graft case, is barred from running in the elections due to his criminal conviction. The verdict has drawn criticism from Khan's followers, and his party plans to appeal the conviction. The case, known as the Cipher, is one of more than 150 cases against Khan, who maintains his innocence and alleges that the legal cases are a plot to sideline him.
