A court in Pakistan on Saturday sentenced former prime minister Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi to 17 years in prison after being found guilty of corruption. The court's decision is the latest setback for Khan, who has been accused in multiple cases since he was ousted in 2022. Khan, who is 73, has been in prison since 2023. He denies the charges, accusing Pakistani authorities of politically persecuting him.

Jemima Goldsmith accuses the Pakistani government of obstructing her children's communication with their father, Imran Khan, who has been imprisoned since August 2023.

Khan was sentenced to 14 years in prison in January due to politically charged allegations, hindering his reconciliation with the government and sidelining his political influence.

Many experts believe that the government's bouquet of assurances to the diaspora is more than just an innocent outreach effort: it's also a political move in a battle for the support of overseas Pakistanis with former Prime Minister Imran Khan.
