Former Pakistani Prime Minister Khan is sentenced to three years in prison

Pakistan's former prime minister Imran Khan has been sentenced to three years in prison after being found guilty in a corruption trial, a ruling that disqualifies him from holding political office.

Khan was arrested at his home in Lahore following the court's verdict, his PTI party said.

The trial is related to an investigation by the election commission that found Khan guilty of illegally selling state gifts during his tenure as prime minister from 2018 to 2022, CNN reports .

Khan, 70, was ousted by a vote of no confidence in parliament last year and has since led a popular campaign against the current government led by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, accusing it of colluding with senior military leaders to remove him from office and to keep it closed. out of politics.

Khan has also made claims that the government worked with the United States in a plot to remove him from office, claims that both sides have denied./CNA.al
