Pakistan's Imran Khan's jail trial declared illegal: Lawyer

IndiaTimes Tuesday, 21 November 2023
A Pakistani court has declared the trial of former Prime Minister Imran Khan in jail on charges of leaking state secrets illegal. The court ruled that the proceedings conducted since August 29 are void and did not fulfill the legal requirements of an open trial. The prosecution will have to restart the trial, either in open court or in jail, after meeting the necessary legal requirements. Khan, who was forced from office in 2022, remains in prison on other charges. The court ruling is seen as an attempt to keep him out of politics ahead of the February 2024 election.
