Changing tide
- On Wednesday, former Pakistan PM
Imran Khan was acquitted in one of the lesser cases registered against him. - He had been booked in 2022 for protesting against his disqualification by the
Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) in connection with the Toshakhanacorruption case .
- Toshakhana is Pakistan’s repository of precious gifts received from foreign diplomats.
- It was alleged that Khan had sold the state gifts he received as PM.
- The ECP had disqualified him for making “false statements and an incorrect declaration”.
- He was sentenced to three years in jail last August in this case, a conviction later suspended by the Islamabad High Court.
- Reports say Khan is entangled in dozens of cases.
- The charges against him range from corruption to terrorism.
- He has been in jail for almost a year.
- The last case preventing his release is about ‘iddat’ or un-Islamic marriage. Reports say it is likely to be wrapped up this month.
- On Tuesday, Khan’s wife
Bushra Bibi was granted temporary bail in a corruption case. - The ex-PM and his wife are accused of accepting financial assistance from a land developer.
- A day earlier, Khan received support from a group of UN experts who deemed his detention arbitrary and violative of international law.
- The UN working group has called for Khan’s immediate release, stating that his detention lacks legal basis and appears politically motivated.
- After a string of setbacks through 2022 and 2023, Khan’s luck seems to be turning.
- In April, his 14-year prison sentence for graft was suspended.
- Later, his 10-year sentence for treason was overturned.
- Relief in the iddat case could finally set him free.
