Pakistani court grants bail to Imran Khan in a graft case. But he won't be released just yet

A Pakistani court granted imprisoned former Prime Minister Imran Khan bail in a graft case. However, he won’t be released as he is serving multiple prison terms in other cases, his party spokesman and officials said. The still-popular Khan has more than 150 other lawsuits filed against him since his ouster in a no-confidence vote in Parliament in 2022. Wednesday’s bail decision came two months after Khan was indicted for accepting a piece of land that business tycoon Malik Riaz gifted the former premier and his wife in return for favors. Khan has repeatedly denied all charges against him and claimed his ouster was a plot by rivals.
