Former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan has been sentenced to 10 years in prison, which is widely viewed as part of a military-led effort to sideline his political party. The sentence comes ahead of the country's first national election since his ousting, which analysts consider to be among the least credible in Pakistan's history due to the military's crackdown on Khan and his supporters. The political turmoil has led to public anger at the military, with Khan's popularity remaining high despite being jailed and barred from contesting the upcoming election. The military has launched an intimidation campaign to weaken Khan's party and hinder his political comeback.
