Pakistan’s Supreme Court on Thursday granted bail to former Prime Minister Imran Khan in eight cases linked to the May 9, 2023, violence. The cases followed nationwide protests and attacks on government and military buildings after Khan’s arrest. A three-member bench led by Chief Justice Yahya Afridi approved the bail pleas. However, Khan will remain in jail due to other convictions, including a case on state gifts and another involving £190 million. Several trials are still pending. PTI called the Supreme Court’s decision a “victory for Imran Khan” and shared his message of hope on X. (PC: Economic Times)
