PTI founder appeals Toshakhana and Cypher case convictions once again

Imran Khan, the founder of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), appealed the verdicts in the Toshakhana and cypher cases to the Islamabad High Court once more on Friday.

The convictions of PTI founder Imran Khan in the cypher, Toshakhana, and “un-Islamic” Nikah case were previously contested in the Islamabad High Court.

However, Khan’s attorney retracted the pleas in response to the IHC registrar’s office concerns.

The ruling of the trial court in the Toshakhana case was once again contested before the IHC by Bushra Bibi, the spouse of former prime minister Imran Khan.

Case of the cypher
On January 30, Shah Mahmood Qureshi, the former foreign minister and founder of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), and former prime minister were both given a 10-year prison sentence by a special court considering a cypher case.

The two PTI leaders were charged with planning to utilise the cipher’s contents for illicit gain.

In its ruling, the court found that the prosecution had presented sufficient evidence to support the allegations made against the former foreign minister and prime minister.

The Toshakhana case
The founder of Pakistan, Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), and his wife, Bushra Bibi, were sentenced to 14 years in jail each by an Accountability Court (AC) on January 31 in the Toshakhana case.

President of the AC Judge Muhammad Bashir delivered the decision. Additionally, the founder of PTI and his spouse were barred from holding any public office for ten years.

In addition, the judge fined Rs. 787 million.
