Former Prime Minister of Pakistan Imran Khan has been convicted by an Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) of Lahore on Saturday on charges of violence that took place on May 9, 2023. The court has also canceled Imran Khan's bail in 8 cases.
According to the report of The Express Tribune, Judge Manzar Ali Gill said in his written decision that the audio and video evidence related to violence against Imran Khan has been presented. That is enough to prove them guilty.
The court also cited the testimonies given against Imran in its decision. Among these, there was an allegation of conspiracy to instigate Imran Khan's supporters in Zaman Park.
Imran was accused of conspiring to harm the government machinery due to fear of arrest.
Imran ordered attack on military assets
In the decision, the court said that the allegations against Imran were serious. He had ordered attacks on military and government properties. Imran's supporters followed his orders and attacked military bases, government buildings and police officers.
The court said that after May 9, the violent incidents that took place again on May 11 and the attacks on police officers were also done on the instructions of Imran Khan. Recordings of undercover police officers were presented by the government in this case.
This picture of Khan is from May 9. He was leaving home for Islamabad High Court. A few hours later he was arrested from the High Court.
Was granted bail in Toshakhana case last month
Imran Khan got bail on November 20 last month in the second case related to Toshakhana (Toshakhana Case-II). Islamabad High Court had ordered to deposit a bond of 10 lakh Pakistani rupees as bail. However, even after the order, Imran could not be released.
Imran Khan is in jail since August 5 last year. Already jailed, Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi were arrested from jail in Toshakhana Case-II on July 13 this year. However, on October 24 last month, Bushra Bibi got bail from Islamabad High Court.
Earlier in November itself, a hearing was held in a Pakistani court to acquit Imran and Bushra in Toshakhana Case-II. However, the court rejected this petition.
