Islamabad High Court suspends former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s recent conviction on corruption charges.

Khan has been in prison since he was sentenced to three years on August 5 on charges of unlawfully selling state gifts during his tenure as prime minister from 2018 to 2022.

As a result of the conviction, Khan was also barred for five years from contesting elections by the country’s election commission.

The cricketer-turned-politician, who is facing more than 100 cases since his ouster through a no-trust vote in April 2022, is currently incarcerated in the northwestern Attock city.
