Former Pakistan Prime Minister slapped with a 14-year prison sentence

FORMER Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan and his wife, Bushra Bibi, were sentenced today to 14 years in prison for corruption, his lawyer and prison officials said.

This comes a day after another special court convicted Mr Khan of leaking state secrets and gave him a 10-year prison sentence.

The latest conviction and sentencing were the cricket legend turned politician’s third since 2022, when he was ousted from power, and came ahead of Pakistan’s February 8 parliamentary elections.
