Former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan and his top aide Shah Mahmood Qureshi have been sentenced to 10 years in jail for leaking official secrets, just days before the general elections scheduled for 08 February. The sentencing took place following a trial conducted within the prison where Khan has been detained, despite previous rulings declaring the jail trial as illegal. Khan and Qureshi are accused of leaking diplomatic correspondence between Washington and Islamabad during Khan's tenure as prime minister. The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party has vowed to challenge the decision in a higher court. The case has raised serious questions about the transparency of the trial and has been marred by allegations of pre-vote rigging, with Khan's party facing suppression.  EPA/BILAWAL ARBAB

ISLAMABAD, 03 FEB - L'ex primo ministro pachistano Imran Khan e la sua consorte Bushra Bibi sono stati condannati a sette anni di carcere ciascuno nel cosiddetto 'caso Iddah', legato al matrimonio illegale o non islamico di Khan con la sua attuale terza moglie. Il tribunale ha inoltre imposto ai due multe di 500.000 rupie ciascuno (3.300 euro). La coppia era stata incriminata il 16 gennaio e la condanna, emessa ieri, è stata annunciata oggi. La causa era stata intentata da Khawar Maneka, il primo marito di Bushra Bibi, secondo il quale la donna ha violato la pratica islamica di osservare la pausa obbligatoria, nota come 'Iddah', tra due matrimoni. Maneka ha anche affermato che Khan e Bibi avevano avuto relazioni extraconiugali prima del matrimonio, un reato punibile con la morte per lapidazione secondo la legge islamica. Il 31 gennaio un tribunale ha condannato a 14 anni di carcere ciascuno Imran Khan e Bushra Bibi nel caso Toshakhana (vendita di doni statali). Il giorno prima un tribunale speciale di Rawalpindi aveva condannato l'ex premier a 10 anni di carcere per aver utilizzato a fini politici un documento top secret e per questo accusato di aver divulgato segreti di Stato.
