In trying to contain Khan, the system may be unintentionally shaping the very legend it fears.

Zulfikar Ali Bhutto was 51 when he was executed. Benazir Bhutto Zardari was 54 when she was assassinated. Imran Khan is now 75. He appears physically fitter than most men his age — even after retiring from cricket, he never stopped exercising, and reports say he continues to work out daily in prison. He is also being provided with food of his choice. Yet physical fitness alone cannot shield a man of his age from the toll of imprisonment, especially the psychological strain.

Pakistan has sentenced to prison 108 members of jailed ex-Prime Minister Imran Khan’s party, for their involvement in protests against the military in 2023. Violent protests erupted nationwide in May 2023 after security forces arrested Khan during his court appearance on corruption charges.

Pakistan’s ousted Prime Minister, Imran Khan, has survived a gun attack on his convoy while holding a protest march in the eastern city of Wazirabad.

He was wounded in the leg when a burst of gunfire hit his vehicle. One person was killed and at least five others were injured.

Lahore: Pakistan’s incarcerated former Prime Minister Imran Khan has said that economic progress can never happen as long as the current “fascist system” is in place and warned that there is a plan to impose a “10-year dictatorship” in Pakistan.

As Pakistan prepares for World Environment Day, on June 5, the country has shown it is prepared to lead the way in ecosystem restoration with its Ten Billion Tree Tsunami Project.

Large scale restoration projects such as The Ten Billion Tree Tsunami Project are central to Pakistan’s efforts to support the UN Decade and to increase ecosystem restoration.

In the interim, Khan has survived an assassination attempt, been hit with a flurry of charges that he claims are concocted to disqualify him from reentering politics, and narrowly avoided arrest amid pitch battles between police and supporters outside his home in Lahore.

In letter to leaders of Muslim-majority countries, the Pakistani prime minister asks to ‘act collectively to counter growing Islamophobia’.

Islamabad, Pakistan – Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan has written to the leaders of Muslim-majority countries, asking them “to act collectively to counter growing Islamophobia in non-Muslim states”, his office has said.

The letter follows a rebuke by Khan to French President Emmanuel Macron earlier this week, where he accused Macron of “encouraging Islamophobia” for moves made by his government to tackle what the French leader termed “Islamic separatism”.

As we settle into 2025, I reflect on what has been one of the most tumultuous and testing periods in Pakistan’s history. From my confinement in a solitary cell, I witness the heartbreaking reality of a nation gripped by authoritarian rule.
