Pakistan's former Prime Minister Imran Khan and his wife have been sentenced to 14 years in jail for the illegal sale of state gifts, with a 10-year ban on contesting public office and a hefty fine imposed on them. This comes after Khan was given a 10-year prison term for leaking state secrets. The convictions, seen as politically motivated by some, have raised concerns about the fairness of the judicial process and the influence of the military in Pakistani politics, with the upcoming general elections adding to the political turmoil.
