Former Pakistan prime minister Imran Khan sentenced to three years in jail

Khan arrested in Lahore after court also bans him from politics for five years for illegally selling state gifts

Pakistan’s former prime minister Imran Khan has been arrested after a court in Islamabad sentenced him to three years in jail and disqualified him from politics for “corrupt practices” involving the sale of state gifts.

Khan, 70, was picked up by police from his home in Lahore on Saturday after a court ruled on the Toshakaha case, in which he was accused of illegally selling gifts from heads of state worth hundreds of millions of rupees.

The judge found Khan had “deliberately submitted fake details” of the gifts to the court and had been involved in corruption. After expressing his displeasure that Khan’s lawyers were not in court, he sentenced him to three years in prison and ordered him to be banned from politics for five years.

Police surrounded Khan’s home and detained him almost immediately after the judgment was given. According to the state information minister, he was taken to Islamabad.

Khan’s lawyer, Intezar Hussain Panjutha, said they would be appealing against the ruling, calling it a case of “political victimisation”.

“Khan was not given an opportunity to defend himself and say his side of the story,” he said. “We wanted to provide witnesses in his favour but he was not allowed this opportunity. Khan was not given a fair trial.”

The ruling and subsequent arrest are likely to be the final nail in the coffin for Khan’s chances of contesting Pakistan’s upcoming general elections, which are scheduled to take place in October or November.

Known for his populist politics, Khan was elected in 2018 with the backing of the country’s powerful military, but after losing their support he was toppled from power last year in a vote of no confidence.

This is the second time in just a few months that Khan has been arrested since his relationship with the military establishment soured and he began a public campaign against the country’s top brass, including accusing them of two attempts on his life.

Almost 100 paramilitary troops were involved in Khan’s arrest in May as he entered Islamabad high court to appear in one of the dozens of cases filed against him. A few days later the supreme court ruled his arrest was illegal and ordered his release.

In the aftermath, Khan and members of his political party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), have faced a major crackdown. Thousands, including some of the party’s most senior members, have been arrested. Khan has alleged that the military is behind the attempts to dismantle his party in order to prevent him from running in the next election, and has accused its leader, Gen Asim Munir, of bearing a personal grudge against him.
