Pakistan ex-PM Imran Khan jailed for 14 years in corruption case

The former Pakistani prime minister Imran Khan has been sentenced to 14 years in jail, after he and his wife were accused of receiving plots of land as a bribe.

Mr Khan has spent the last 18 months in prison – facing more than a hundred legal cases – all of which he says are politically motivated.

The former cricketer was ousted in 2022 after falling out with the country’s powerful military, but remains Pakistan’s most popular political figure.
