Pakistan’s former Prime Minister Imran Khan urged his supporters to gear up for countrywide protests following a 17-year jail term handed to him and wife Bushra Bibi in a corruption case.
Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi were sentenced to 17 years in jail each by a court on Saturday in the Toshakhana 2 corruption case.
Khan, 73, who has been in jail since August 2023, faces multiple cases launched against him since his ouster from power in April 2022. The Toshakhana 2 case involves alleged fraud in state gifts that the former first couple received from the Saudi government in 2021.
In a conversation with his lawyers in Adiala Jail after the military-style trial decision Khan urged his supporters to stand up in protest after the decision, according to a midnight statement posted on Khan’s X account.
It was not known who posted his conversation on his personal account as Khan has no access to his social media handles in jail.
