Former prime minister was sentenced to three years in jail and disqualified from politics
Pakistan’s former prime minister Imran Khan has appealed against his conviction and three-year sentence on corruption charges, four days after he was jailed and barred from politics in a case threatening to worsen political uncertainty.
His lawyer, Naeem Panjutha, said the petition challenging Khan’s conviction on charges of selling state gifts unlawfully during his 2018-22 term as prime minister had been filed on Tuesday in the Islamabad high court, which would hear the case on Wednesday.
