Court suspends the corruption conviction and sentence of former Prime Minister Imran Khan
ISLAMABAD (AP) — A defense lawyer says a Pakistani appeals court has suspended the corruption conviction and three-year prison term of Imran Khan in a legal victory for the embattled former prime minister. The Islamabad High court on Tuesday also granted bail for Khan. However, it’s not immediately clear if he will be released since he also faces a multitude of other charges. Khan’s lawyer said the Islamabad High Court issued a brief verbal order and the written ruling will be issued later. The ruling comes weeks after Khan was convicted and sentenced to three years in prison by another court.
