TL;DR Summary

Former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan and his wife have been sentenced to 14 years in prison for corruption, just a day after Khan was jailed for 10 years. Khan, who claims the cases against him are politically motivated, is already serving a three-year jail term for corruption. The couple has denied charges of selling state gifts for personal profit and will also be disqualified from holding public office for 10 years. These latest convictions come just before Pakistan's elections, in which Khan is barred from standing, and his party has faced campaigning restrictions.
