Pakistan’s former premier Imran Khan appeals his conviction in graft case, seeks release from jail

Islamabad, Aug 8 (PTI) Pakistan’s jailed former premier Imran Khan on Tuesday challenged his conviction in the Toshakhana corruption case by a trial court, saying the verdict by a “biased” judge was a “slap in the face due process and fair trial” and “a gross travesty of justice”.

Khan, 70, was arrested on Saturday shortly after an Islamabad trial court found him guilty of “corrupt practices” in the Toshakhana case and sentenced him to three years in jail. Khan is currently lodged in the Attock Jail.

Khan has appealed his conviction and the three-year prison sentence in the case by filing a plea through his lawyers – Khawaja Haris and Gohar Ali Khan – at the Islamabad High Court (IHC).
