Islamabad, Jan 18: A Pakistan court convicted former Pakistan prime minister Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi in a landmark graft case, sentencing Khan to 14 years in prison.
Khan has been held in custody since August 2023 charged with around 200 cases but his party claim the latest conviction was being used to pressure him into silence.
I will neither make any deal nor seek any relief,” imran Khan told reporters inside the court room after his conviction.
The anti-graft court convened in the jail near the capital Islamabad where Khan is being held, and convicted him along with his wife over a welfare foundation they established together called the Al-Qadir Trust.
“The prosecution has proven its case. Khan is convicted,” said Judge Nasir Javed Rana, announcing a 14 year sentence for Khan and seven years for Bibi.
