A Pakistani appeals court on Tuesday suspended the corruption conviction and three-year prison term of Imran Khan
ISLAMABAD — in a legal victory for the hugely popular embattled former prime minister, his lawyers and court officials said.
The Islamabad High Court also granted bail for Khan, but it was not immediately clear if he will be released as he also faces a multitude of other charges brought since his ouster through a no-confidence vote in the parliament in April 2022. “Imran Khan is again entitled to lead his Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party after today’s court order,” Babar Awan, another senior attorney for Khan, told reporters after the announcement of the decision.
Since his ouster, Khan has said that his removal was a conspiracy by the United States, his successor Shehbaz Sharif and the Pakistani military — accusations that they all deny. Sharif stepped down this month after the parliament’s term ended. Meanwhile, Pakistan is facing deepening economic and political turmoil.
