Imran Khan, Pakistan's former prime minister, was sentenced to 10 years in prison yesterday. The verdict is widely seen as part of a military campaign to sideline him and his party, and comes about a week before the country's first national election since Khan was ousted in April 2022.
Khan's popularity though he has been jailed in several legal cases and barred from contesting the national election has remained high since his removal from power, which he claims the military orchestrated. The military has denied the accusation.
