Pakistan’s former prime minister Imran Khan appeared virtually before the Supreme Court of Pakistan from jail on Thursday.
Khan’s official X (formerly “Twitter”) handle shared the pictures from his appearance and added, “Illegally incarcerated former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s pictures’ appear on social media after 285 days from a court hearing today.”
According to local news daily Dawn, Khan appeared before the court via video link regarding changes in the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) law. This was Khan’s first Supreme Court appearance since his August arrest and Toshakhana case conviction. His party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), raised concerns about a visitor ban at the Adiala jail where he has been imprisoned, suspecting the ban aims to hinder his Supreme Court appearance.
Recently, the Islamabad High Court (IHC) granted Khan bail in a £190 million case, citing the need for further inquiry into the allegations. The NAB claimed Khan’s 2019 cabinet approved transferring £190 million repatriated by the UK’s National Crime Agency to the Supreme Court for Bahria Town’s liability payment. The IHC questioned the transparency of this transaction and suggested the trial court thoroughly examine the evidence.
Earlier in April, the Islamabad High Court suspended Khan’s 14-year sentence for graft charges in the Toshakhana case, where he was accused of selling state gifts. PTI maintained the charges were baseless and celebrated the suspension. Despite this, Khan remained in prison due to other convictions, including the “cypher” case and a marriage law violation, which his legal team had appealed.
Khan is currently facing multiple charges of corruption and has been in prison since August.
