Imran Khan's Plea Against Conviction to be Heard by Pakistan Court

Former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan's plea for the suspension of his three-year prison sentence on corruption charges will be heard by a Pakistani high court next week. Khan, who was recently convicted and barred from politics for five years, denies the charges and claims they are politically motivated. His lawyer hopes that the court will grant Khan bail. The corruption conviction relates to the alleged unlawful sale of state gifts acquired during Khan's tenure as prime minister. Khan has accused the army of undermining his political ambitions, while authorities have stated that he has the right to seek better conditions in prison.
