A Pakistani appeals court on Tuesday suspended the corruption conviction and three-year prison term of Imran Khan in a legal victory for the hugely popular embattled former prime minister, his lawyers and court officials said.
Although he will face a retrial in due course, the ruling will enable Khan, 70, to contest the upcoming parliamentary elections. Khan has denied the charges, insisting he did not violate any rules.
"Imran Khan is again entitled to lead his Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party after today's court order," Babar Awan, another senior attorney for Khan, told reporters after the announcement of the decision. He said the legal battle for Khan's acquittal would continue. Bukhari said he is praying that now "no misadventure happens now and Imran Khan is not rearrested" as he leaves prison or on the way to his home in the eastern city of Lahore, the capital of Punjab.
Since his ouster, Khan has said that his removal was a conspiracy by the United States, his successor Shehbaz Sharif, and the Pakistani military -- accusations that they all deny. Sharif stepped down this month after the parliament's term ended.
