Former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan's legal challenges continue as he faces multiple trials. Recently acquitted on charges of unlawful marriage, Khan is still embroiled in other cases. The anti-terrorism trial linked to May 2023 violence stands out, with fresh arrest warrants issued.
Khan had his conviction in the state secrets case overturned. Initially sentenced to 10 years for leaking a classified cable, he alleged a conspiracy against him, which both U.S. and Pakistani officials deny.
In the Toshakhana case, Khan and his wife were accused of illegally selling state gifts. Although sentenced to a combined 17 years, these penalties were suspended pending appeal. The couple denies any wrongdoing.
