Pakistan's former prime minister sentenced to 10 years in prison, supporters criticize for ``purpose of interfering with elections''. Imran Khan, who served as Pakistan's prime minister for about four years starting in 2018, was detained in August last year after being found guilty of corruption.
He was later charged with leaking state secrets he had obtained while he was prime minister. A general election is scheduled for February 8 in Pakistan, and the political party founded by Khan, is deeply popular, especially among young people.
