A Pakistani court drops the charge of incitement to murder against former Prime Minister Imran Khan
A Pakistani court has decided to drop the charge of incitement to murder against former Prime Minister Imran Khan, 70, who is being tried in several cases, including corruption.
A Pakistani court on Monday dropped the charge of incitement to murder against former Prime Minister Imran Khan, 70, who is being tried in several cases including corruption.
Last March, Imran Khan was accused of inciting sedition in the city of Quetta, the capital of Balochistan province (southwest), based on words contained in one of his speeches.
After Khan's appeal, the Balochistan High Court said that "the plaintiffs failed to obtain the required consent from the federal government or the provincial government to file sedition charges."
The court ruled that "the accusations are without legal basis and have no legal effect," and ordered the case to be dropped.
On his part, Imran Khan's lawyer, Naeem Panjotha, said in a post on Platform X, celebrating the dropping of the case: "Thank God, the court has dropped the sedition charge registered against Imran Khan in Quetta. Once again Imran Khan has been entrapped in a false case, congratulations to Pakistan." on the triumph of justice.
The sedition case is among dozens of cases brought against Khan since he lost power after being defeated in a parliamentary vote of confidence in April 2022.
With regard to Khan's appeal to the Supreme Court in Islamabad, to suspend his conviction and 3-year prison sentence for corruption that was issued against him this month, Panjotha said in a post later Monday: "The verdict will be pronounced on Thursday."
On August 9, the Supreme Court in Islamabad rejected Imran Khan's appeal against his prison sentence. On the 5th of the same month, the Pakistani police arrested Imran Khan in the city of Lahore, following a court ruling issued by a court of first instance in the capital, Islamabad, imprisoning him for 3 years on charges of illegal gain.
Since his overthrow in April last year, Khan faces more than 150 cases, on charges he continues to deny and says they are "politically motivated".
