Former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan has been sentenced to 10 years in jail.

The jail term comes from a case in which he was charged with leaking state secrets and is in addition to a three-year sentence being served after being convicted of corruption.

Khan was ousted by his opponents as PM in 2022.

His latest conviction under the secrets act comes the week before general elections in which he is barred from standing.

 A spokesman of Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party said it would challenge the court ruling and called it a mockery.
