A close aide to Mr Khan, former foreign minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi, was also sentenced to 10 years in prison in the same case, with the verdict handed down by a special court at the Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi where both men are being held. The special court was established under the Official Secrets Act 2023 and hearings were held within the jail despite repeated petitions by Mr Khan’s PTI party to improve transparency. The special court reportedly found Mr Khan guilty of making public the contents of a secret diplomatic cable sent by Pakistan’s ambassador in Washington to the government in Islamabad.
