Pakistan court suspends Imran Khan and wife's graft sentences

Former Pakistan prime minister Imran Khan with his wife, Bushra Bibi , arrive to appear at a high court in Lahore on May 15, 2023.

Khan, 71, remains jailed on two other cases including treason and illegal marriage with sentences stretching up to a decade. Khan was already jailed and barred from standing for office when he was hit by a trio of sentences in the days before Pakistan's Feb 8 general elections. As an opposition leader, he waged a campaign of defiance against the military, making incendiary claims that they conspired with the United States to oust him and plotted an assassination bid that wounded him.
