Security around residence of former Prime Minister Khan where his wife is kept following 14-year sentence

epa11117696 A Pakistani security official stands guard outside the residence of convicted former Prime Minister Imran Khan, where his wife Bushra Bibi is kept after authorities declared it a 'sub-jail', in Islamabad, Pakistan, 01 February 2024. Khan and his wife, Bushra Bibi, have been sentenced to 14 years in prison for not declaring money obtained from the sale of gifts received during his tenure. They have also been disqualified from public office for 10 years. The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party, led by Khan, has condemned the ruling, calling it an erroneous decision made in haste. This comes in the wake of Khan and his top aide, Shah Mehmood Qureshi, being handed 10-year sentences for revealing state secrets. The sentences have been met with controversy and claims of political motivations, as Khan has been removed from power and is currently detained with over 100 pending cases, just ahead of the upcoming general elections.
