Pakistan court finds Imran Khan not guilty of leaking state secrets
PAKISTAN’S former prime minister Imran Khan was found not guilty on Monday of leaking state secrets, his lawyer said.
But the popular opposition leader will remain behind bars as he serves several prison terms and awaits a slew of cases pending against him.
Mr Khan was convicted in January of treason and sentenced to 10 years over an incident, popularly known as the cipher case, in which he was accused of exposing state secrets by waving a confidential document at a protest rally.
