Imran Khan has been sentenced to 17 years in prison in the Toshakhana case 2, bringing his total jail term to the equivalent of a human lifespan 65 years.

The judicial proceedings have been ongoing with multiple sentences handed down by different judges over the course of nearly two years. On August 5, 2023, Judge Humayun Dilawar sentenced him to three years. Subsequently, in the Cypher case, he received a 10-year sentence. On January 30, 2024, Judge Bashir handed down a 14-year sentence in the Accountability Court. Then, on February 3, 2024, the trial court in the Adultery case sentenced him to 7 years. The series of convictions continued, and on January 17, 2025, in the Al-Qadir case, he was sentenced to 14 years.

Now, in a culmination of these rulings, Imran Khan has been sentenced to a total of 65 years in prison.
