Pakistan Ex-PM Imran Khan, Wife Appeal Graft Convictions: Lawyer

Khan was sentenced to 14 years and his wife to seven earlier this month in the latest case to be brought against them, AFP reported.

“We have filed appeals today and in the next few days it will go through clerical processes and then it will be fixed for a hearing,” Khan’s lawyer Khalid Yousaf Chaudhry said.

The papers were filed at the Islamabad High Court.

A special graft court found the pair guilty of “corruption and corrupt practices” over a welfare foundation they established together called the Al-Qadir Trust.

Khan, 72, has been held in custody since August 2023 charged in around 200 cases which he claims are politically motivated.
