"Former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan and Wife Sentenced to Seven Years for Unlawful Marriage"

Pakistan's former Prime Minister Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Khan have been sentenced to seven years in prison and fined for their 2018 marriage, which was deemed unlawful by a court. This is the third adverse ruling against Khan in a week, and it comes ahead of national elections that he is barred from contesting. The court found that Bushra did not complete the waiting period mandated by Islam after divorcing her previous husband before marrying Khan. Khan is also facing a 10-year disqualification from holding public office, and it is unclear if the sentences will run concurrently or sequentially.

Imran Khan Sentenced to 10 Years in Jail for Revealing State Secrets

Former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan and a senior leader of his party have been jailed for 10 years in a case involving leaked state secrets, known as the cypher case, just before the general elections. Khan, already serving a three-year jail term in a corruption case, has been barred from standing in the upcoming elections. He faces over 150 pending cases, including charges of not declaring assets and receiving land as a bribe. Despite being disqualified from the upcoming election, Khan remains a significant political figure due to his grassroots support and anti-establishment stance.

"Arantxa Sánchez Vicario Receives Suspended Sentence for Fraud"

Former Spanish tennis star Arantxa Sanchez Vicario and her ex-husband have been convicted of hiding assets to avoid paying a 7.6 million-euro debt to Banque de Luxembourg, resulting in a suspended jail term for her and a three-year, three-month jail term for him. They were also ordered to pay 6.6 million euros in compensation to the bank and unspecified fines. Sanchez Vicario, the first Spanish player to reach the top of women's tennis rankings, had blamed her ex-husband for the fraud, but the court found that she had full knowledge of the operations and benefited from them.

Russian Father Escapes Jail Term After Daughter's Anti-War Drawing

A Russian man, Alexei Moskalev, has been given a two-year jail term for discrediting the army after his daughter drew an anti-war picture. Moskalev was accused of repeatedly criticising the Russian army on social media and had appeared in court the day before. His daughter, Masha, 13, was sent to a children's home in early March when the criminal case began. Moskalev was not in court for the verdict as he had escaped house arrest. Moskalev has been recognised as a political prisoner by human rights group Memorial, which has itself been banned by Russia's authorities.
