Imran Khan Released News Today

Former Pakistan PM Imran Khan is set to be released on bail after his conviction and jail sentence was suspended by the Islamabad High Court today.

Former Pakistani foreign minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi has been arrested for leaking a confidential diplomatic cable. Qureshi, a close aide of imprisoned former prime minister Imran Khan, was taken into custody under the Official Secrets Act.

Imran Khan Arrested: Pakistan's former prime minister Imran Khan -- who is currently incarcerated in Attock Jail -- filed a plea in the Islamabad High Court (IHC) today, challenging his conviction in the Toshakhana case by a trial court.

His remarks came in response to ISPR Director-General Major General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry's statement in which he called Khan a "hypocrite".

Addressing the nation from his Lahore home on Saturday, Khan took strong exception to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) allegations against him and said the spokesperson of the army's military wing was not even born when he represented Pakistan in the world.

Former Pakistan prime minister Imran Khan's arrest on May 9 sparked violent protests by his supporters, who indulged in large-scale arson, stone pelting, looting and clashing with police officials.

Imran Khan issued an appeal to PTI supporters not to use violence after the Supreme Court approved the release order for him.

The third umpire declared Imran Khan not out. In a twist, the Supreme Court of Pakistan has declared former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s arrest on Tuesday illegal, effectively giving him a chance to hit another knock. It is a victory for the PTI supremo, yet for Pakistan—which has been on the boil since the arrest—the situation remains tense.

Imran Khan's arrest declared "illegal" by Pakistan's Supreme Court, orders immediate release on interim bail.

The Supreme Court ruled Khan's arrest on Tuesday -- that sparked widespread unrest in the country as well as protests in other countries -- was illegal.
