A Pakistan high court on Monday overturned a treason conviction against former prime minister Imran Khan, who remains in jail on other charges.
In the runup to elections in February, Khan was hit with a trio of prison sentences for cases he claims were orchestrated to prevent his return to power.
The decision by a two-member bench at Islamabad High Court was announced by Chief Justice Aamer Farooq, an AFP court reporter witnessed.
The acquittal was verified by Salman Safdar, an attorney for Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party.
Due to his marriage to Bushra Bibi too soon after her divorce, Khan violated Islamic law and is still serving a seven-year prison sentence.
In addition, he was found guilty of graft in relation to gifts he accepted while serving as prime minister from 2018 to 2022. The conviction remains even if his 14-year sentence was suspended in April.
