Imran Khan: From Prime Minister to Prisoner - A 14-Year Sentence
Former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan and his wife were found guilty of corruption and sentenced to 14 years in prison, a day after receiving a 10-year sentence. The convictions are seen as part of the power struggle between civilian leaders and the military in Pakistan. With over 150 legal cases pending against him, Khan's political movement faces challenges ahead of parliamentary elections. His rapid succession of convictions is seen as unusual, and analysts believe it sends a message that he will remain behind bars if he continues to challenge the country's institutions. Meanwhile, his rival Nawaz Sharif has a clear path to a fourth term in office, as Khan's party faces disqualifications and crackdowns on supporters.
