Imran Khan, the former Prime Minister of Pakistan, currently in custody on charges of sharing state documents, has been formally charged with leaking classified documents. Khan, a former cricketing superstar, had earlier been sentenced to three years in jail for graft, a decision later overturned. The new charge is far more serious and relates to a cable Khan presented as evidence of being ousted due to a US conspiracy supported by the military establishment, a claim denied by both the United States and the Pakistan military. Shah Mahmood Qureshi, PTI party’s vice chairman, has also been indicted in connection with the case.
