Khan and Qureshi are accused of leaking diplomatic correspondence between Washington and Islamabad during Khan's tenure as prime minister. The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party has challenged the decision in a higher court. The case has raised serious questions about the transparency of the trial and has been marred by allegations of rigging in the 08 February general elections, with Khan's party facing suppression.
