PAKISTAN: A Pakistani court today charged imprisoned former prime minister Imran Khan and his wife in one of several corruption cases they face, officials and his party said.

Mr Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi pleaded not guilty when a judge in the garrison city of Rawalpindi read them the charges.

They stand accused of keeping and selling state gifts including  jewellery received when Mr Khan was in office, at a value less than their market price.
