Imran Khan's Cipher Case: Potential Death Penalty for Former Pakistan PM

Former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan has been indicted on charges of revealing official secrets, which could result in a possible death sentence and prevent him from running in parliamentary elections next year. The case revolves around Khan's speech and the waving of a confidential diplomatic letter at a rally after his ouster in a no-confidence vote. Khan had claimed the letter was proof of a US conspiracy backed by the military establishment. Khan's defense lawyers are confident of acquittal, but analysts believe the regime intends to prevent his escape regardless of the charges' validity. Khan is currently facing over 150 cases, including corruption, and his relationship with the military has soured. Pakistan's courts are often criticized for stifling dissent, and the military continues to wield significant power in the country.
