Imran Khan's Conviction in State Secrets Case Overturned

Imran Khan, Pakistan's former prime minister, and Shah Mahmood Qureshi, his former foreign secretary, were convicted of making public a classified cable sent to Islamabad by Pakistan's ambassador in Washington. The conviction is one of three charges brought against Khan ahead of February elections, which he claims were orchestrated to prevent his return to power. Khan had used the cypher as evidence that the United States conspired to force him from office in 2022. However, the US and Pakistan's military have denied the accusation.
