Pakistan ex-PM Imran Khan indicted again in cipher case

IndiaTimes Wednesday, 13 December 2023
Imran Khan pleaded not guilty to charges of leaking state secrets under an indictment Wednesday that dealt a new blow to his chances of contesting the general election in February. ​​Imran's lawyer contested the indictment, saying it would be valid only if signed by the accused. A guilty verdict under the Official Secrets Act could bring up to 10 years in prison. ​​It is the second time Imran has been indicted on the same charges in the cipher case, as it is known, after a superior court struck down an earlier indictment on technical grounds.
