Pakistan's former Prime Minister Imran Khan was granted bail Monday by the country's Supreme Court in a case related to a lawyer's murder while the nation's election oversight body demanded his arrest in a separate, contempt case in which he failed to show up for questioning.
Also last week, the government of Khan's successor, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, said it would bring charges against Khan for "exposing an official secret document" in an incident last year when he waved a confidential diplomatic letter at a rally, describing it as "proof" that he was threatened and claiming his ouster was a conspiracy.
Also on Tuesday, Khan is to appear before the country's Federal Investigation Agency to face charges of exposing secret documents, related to the letter-waving incident. The document, dubbed Cipher, has not been made public but was apparently a diplomatic correspondence between a Pakistani ambassador to Washington and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Islamabad.
