Imran Khan

Imran Khan is a philanthropist, politician, and former cricket star who served as the 22nd Prime Minister of Pakistan from August 2018 to April 2022. He is the Chairman of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (Pakistan Justice Movement or “PTI”), a political party which he founded in 1996. In this role, Imran has been an outspoken critic of government corruption, speaking out about the dangers of the unconstitutional overreach of power in the military. As a result, Imran has been subjected to (and is currently facing) over 200 clearly politically motivated criminal cases, and just days before the election, he was convicted in three more cases and sentenced to an additional 10 years, 14 years, and seven years in prison, respectively. For Khan, who is over 70 years old, the combined prison term of 34 years amounts to a life sentence. In March 2024, the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention found his detention to be arbitrary and in violation of international law.
