Former Pakistani prime minister Imran Khan
Former Pakistani prime minister Imran Khan has been sentenced to 10 years in jail in a case in which he was charged with leaking state secrets.
Mr Khan who was ousted by his opponents as PM in 2022, is already serving a three-year jail term after being convicted of corruption.
He has called all the charges against him politically motivated.
The conviction under the secrets act comes the week before general elections in which he is barred from standing.
Former foreign minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi was also sentenced to 10 years in prison by the special court set up inside Adiala Jail where both men are being held.
