Former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan has been imprisoned since August 2023 on multiple charges, including a 14-year sentence in January 2025 for alleged corruption. Amnesty International and others have criticized his trials and detention as arbitrary. Despite global concern, Pakistan seems to me to have ignored calls for justice. On November 26, 2024, security forces allegedly fired on Khan’s supporters in Islamabad, causing deaths.
