Pakistani Appeals Court Halts Former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s Corruption Conviction and Prison Sentence
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

A Pakistani appeals court has suspended Imran Khan, the former Prime Minister of Pakistan, corruption conviction and the accompanying three-year prison sentence. Khan, a highly popular and embattled political figure, will now have the opportunity to contest the upcoming parliamentary elections, despite the pending retrial. Throughout this process, Khan has maintained his innocence, vehemently denying any violation of rules.

The Islamabad High Court has also granted Khan bail, but his release remains uncertain due to numerous other charges he faces following his ouster through a parliamentary no-confidence vote in April 2022.

According to Khan’s lawyer, Shoaib Shaheen, the Islamabad High Court delivered a brief verbal order, with a detailed written ruling expected later. Khan’s recent conviction stemmed from charges of concealing assets related to the sale of state gifts he received while in office.

Earlier this month, Pakistan’s Election Commission had barred Khan from participating in any political activities for a five-year period. Pakistani law prohibits convicted individuals from leading a political party, running in elections, or holding public office.

Since his removal from office, Khan has alleged a conspiracy involving the United States, his successor Shehbaz Sharif, and the Pakistani military. These accusations have been consistently denied by the parties involved. Sharif stepped down as Prime Minister when the parliamentary term concluded, leaving Pakistan grappling with deepening economic and political challenges.

The forthcoming elections face additional complexity as the election oversight body recently announced a delay of at least three to four months. This delay is necessary to redraw constituencies to align with the most recent census data. Under the constitution, elections are to be held in October or November, with caretaker Prime Minister Anwaar-ul-Haq Kakar overseeing day-to-day affairs. Kakar has expressed his commitment to ensuring a free, fair, and transparent electoral process.
