Imran Khan vows to ‘endure imprisonment’, calls for upholding rule of law

ISLAMABAD: After the court’s verdict in the £190 million reference, former prime minister Imran Khan reaffirmed his commitment to the rule of law, declaring that he would endure imprisonment for as long as necessary.

This was disclosed by his lawyer, Faisal Chaudhry, following a meeting with Khan and his wife, Bushra Bibi, at Adiala jail, moments after the court awarded the couple years-long imprisonment.

Speaking to the media after the meeting, Chaudhry also revealed that Bushra Bibi expressed her unwavering support for Khan, saying: “I stand with him and will continue to do so.”

He also confirmed that Bushra Bibi would soon be shifted to a cell in Adiala Jail.

Chaudhry, however, remained optimistic, asserting: “We will win this match. This is a match for justice and fairness in the country, and Imran Khan will emerge victorious.”

An accountability court in Islamabad — after delaying the verdict three times — convicted the PTI founder and his wife, Bushra Bibi, in the £190 million case.
