A Pakistani court on September 30 denied a bail application by imprisoned former Prime Minister Imran Khan and his wife, Bushra Bibi, in a graft case, their lawyer said. It's another blow to the popular opposition leader, who has been in prison for more than a year after being convicted on multiple charges. Khan has been embroiled in more than 150 cases since 2022, when he was ousted from power in a no-confidence vote in parliament after several political allies deserted him. He has accused the military and his archenemy and current Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif of ousting him under a U.S. plot, charges which they have denied.
