Former Pakistani PM Imran Khan and FM Qureshi indicted in Cypher case

epa11024403 Barrister Salman Safdar, a member of the legal team of jailed Pakistani former Prime Minister Imran Khan, talks with journalists after a hearing in cypher case, in Rawalpindi, Pakistan, 12 December 2023. Former Prime Minister Imran Khan and his then Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi's indictment in the cypher case has been postponed till 13 December, by the special court. Imran Khan also moved the Islamabad High Court challenging the trial court's decision to distribute charge-sheet copies in the cypher case. The charges under the Official Secrets Act carry severe penalties, including death, life imprisonment, or a minimum sentence of 14 years behind bars. This case stems from Imran Khan's public display of a piece of paper, allegedly the 'cypher' which he claimed was evidence of an 'international conspiracy' against his government. The Federal Investigation Agency initiated the probe into the so-called 'cypher-gate,' leading to the arrest of Imran Khan and Shah Mahmood Qureshi. EPA/SOHAIL SHAHZAD
