Former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan and his top aide Shah Mahmood Qureshi have been sentenced to 10 years in jail for leaking official secrets, just days before the general elections scheduled for 08 February. The sentencing took place following a trial conducted within the prison where Khan has been detained, despite previous rulings declaring the jail trial as illegal. Khan and Qureshi are accused of leaking diplomatic correspondence between Washington and Islamabad during Khan's tenure as prime minister. The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party has vowed to challenge the decision in a higher court. The case has raised serious questions about the transparency of the trial and has been marred by allegations of pre-vote rigging, with Khan's party facing suppression. EPA/BILAWAL ARBAB
