Imran Khan and wife sentenced to 17 years over luxury state gifts

A Pakistani court sentenced former Prime Minister Imran Khan and his wife, Bushra Bibi, to 17 years each in a corruption case tied to the discounted purchase of luxury state gifts under the Toshakhana framework, adding to Khan’s mounting legal challenges. The ruling includes separate terms under breach of trust and anti-corruption laws, comes alongside an existing 14-year sentence in a land case, and will be appealed by Khan’s legal team. The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party announced protests following the verdict while authorities denied allegations of restricted family and legal access.
