A Pakistani appeals court on Tuesday suspended the corruption conviction and three-year prison term of Imran Khan in a legal victory for the hugely popular embattled former prime minister, his lawyers and court officials said.
Although he will face a retrial in due course, the ruling will enable Khan, 70, to contest the upcoming parliamentary elections. Khan has denied the charges, insisting he did not violate any rules. The Islamabad High Court also granted bail for Khan, but it was not immediately clear if he would be released as he faces a multitude of other charges brought since his ouster through a no-confidence vote in April 2022.
