Imran Khan in jail
The former Pakistan prime minister has been lodged in the high-security Adiala Jail due to several cases.
In January, he and his wife Bushra Bibi were sentenced to 14 years in jail on charges of illegally selling state gifts from 'Toshakhana,' the gift storage house.
Before that, the former cricketer-turned-politician was sentenced to 10 years for allegedly leaking sensitive state secrets.
On Wednesday (Mar 6), Khan's party the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) submitted a resolution in the nation's Senate, calling for the release of Imran Khan, his wife, close aide Shah Mahmood Qureshi and other leaders.
The resolution submitted by party Senator Falak Naz Chitrali alleged that the leaders were convicted under 'false cases,' and said "Political vendetta has destroyed the country’s economy and reputation."
