Pakistan’s former Prime Minister Imran Khan has been sentenced to another 10 years in jail after he was accused of exposing state secrets.

Journalists and some of Mr Khan’s lawyers were denied access to the court – held inside the prison where he’s been serving a three year sentence on corruption charges.

Mr Khan, who’s denied all the allegations against him, has been barred from standing in next week’s general elections
