Imran Khan, Former Pakistan PM, Sentenced to 14 Years in Prison for Corruption

Pakistan's former Prime Minister Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Khan have been sentenced to 14 years in prison for illegally selling state gifts, with a 10-year disqualification from holding public office. This is the third conviction for Khan in recent months, and the verdict comes just before national elections. The charges stem from gifts worth over 140 million rupees received during Khan's premiership, which were allegedly sold in Dubai. Khan's media team has criticized the judicial process and plans to challenge the decision, while Khan's party sees the conviction as an attempt to pressure him further.
