A spokesman for his Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party said the Islamabad High Court dropped the pair’s sentences from an anti-corruption court over selling state gifts, with an appeal against their convictions pending. His wife Bushra Bibi was also sentenced over graft and a marriage the courts said came too quickly after her divorce, in breach of Islamic law.
A coalition of parties with close ties to Pakistan’s powerful military establishment has taken power, headed by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.
