ISLAMABAD (AP) — A Pakistani court has denied a bail application by imprisoned former Prime Minister Imran Khan and his wife in a graft case. Monday’s court order is yet another blow to the popular opposition leader, who has been held in prison for more than a year after being convicted on multiple charges. He has been embroiled in more than 150 cases since 2022, when he was ousted from power in a no-confidence vote. Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi are accused of allegedly retaining and selling state gifts in violation of government rules while he was in power.
