Imran Khan

Imran Khan is a former Prime Minister of Pakistan who has been at the center of recent news due to his imprisonment and the subsequent crackdown by the Pakistani military on dissent. His supporters claim he has been silenced, and his family has not seen him visit in over five weeks. Recently, three men have been charged with highly targeted attacks against Pakistani dissidents living in Britain, and a court has sentenced several journalists to life imprisonment over alleged links to violent unrest after his May 2023 arrest. Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi were also sentenced to 17 years in prison for corruption. The Pakistani military has also sentenced its former spy chief, Faiz Hameed, to 14 years in jail on charges including violation of state secrets and interfering in politics. These developments have caused a political storm, with protests demanding the release of Imran Khan and his allies. The situation highlights the increasing tensions between the Pakistani government and the military, as well as the suppression of dissent and opposition.
