Pak Court Allows Imran Khan To Appeal Graft Conviction, Suspends Sentence

A Pakistani court on Monday granted former Prime Minister Imran Khan an appeal of his graft conviction and suspended his 14-year jail sentence, his party said.

Just a week ahead of the February 8 elections, Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi were both handed a 14-year sentence on charges of unlawfully selling state gifts.

Khan remains in jail after multiple other sentences were imposed on the ex-cricket star ahead of the national polls, which also disqualified him from holding any public office for 10 years.
