A Pakistani court has sentenced ex-Prime Minister Imran Khan and his party deputy to 10 years in prison each for divulging official secrets in the Cipher case. Khan, already serving a three-year term for graft, faces mounting legal challenges. Barred from contesting in upcoming elections, Khan’s conviction adds to political turmoil ahead of the polls. The case stems from Khan allegedly revealing a classified cable, implicating a U.S.-backed conspiracy in his ousting. Despite denials, the verdict underscores tensions and ramifications for Pakistan’s diplomatic relations. Political analysts suggest the ruling was anticipated, citing the detrimental impact on Pakistan’s international ties.
