Pakistan Jails Four Imran Khan Party Leaders for 10 Years Over May 2023 Riots
The Hindu·Saturday, 20 June 2026
A Pakistani court sentenced four leaders of Imran Khan's party to 10 years in jail over the violent protests of May 9, 2023, when demonstrators vandalised dozens of military installations and state-owned buildings. Former Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi was acquitted. The protests originally erupted after Khan's arrest.
Why It Matters
Political instability in Pakistan directly affects India's neighbourhood security and bilateral dynamics, and this verdict deepens the legal pressure on Khan's movement.
