A Pakistani court on Monday indicted Imran Khan on charges of revealing official secrets after his 2022 ouster from office in another dramatic move against the former prime minister who could now face a possible death sentence and will likely be unable to run in parliamentary elections in January.
Another defense lawyer for Khan, Naeem Panjutha claimed on Monday that the former premier and Qureshi were “indicted in a hurry” with the intention of quickly convicting the popular opposition leader. Khan is facing more than 150 cases, including charges ranging from contempt of court to terrorism and inciting violence, and was given a three-year sentence on corruption charges in early August.
