Pakistan’s government says it plans to ban the party of imprisoned former Prime Minister Imran Khan on charges of illegally receiving funds from abroad and involvement in riots following his arrest last year.
FILE - Pakistan's former Prime Minister Imran Khan gives a press conference at his home, in Lahore, Pakistan, on May 18, 2023. A Pakistani court on Saturday July 13, 2024 overturned the convictions and seven-year sentences of former Prime Minister Imran Khan and his wife, but officials quickly moved to prevent his release from prison.
Khan's party accused the coalition government headed by Sharif of panicking following a series of court rulings that threw out many of the cases against the former prime minister. The acquittal of Khan and his wife Bibi was related to the legality of their 2018 marriage. She was previously married to a man who claimed that they divorced in November 2017,Bibi said they divorced in August 2017, and the couple insisted that they did not violate the waiting period.
In recent months, Khan has been acquitted in several cases related to last year’s violence, but his bail was canceled this week in connection with one case pending in the eastern city of Lahore.
