Pakistan's jailed former Prime Minister, Imran Khan, makes a virtual court appearance regarding anticorruption law amendments. Despite demands for transparency, the hearing wasn't livestreamed, sparking accusations of collusion between the chief justice and the government. Khan's party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, alleges bias against them. The virtual appearance marks Khan's first court appearance since his imprisonment in August 2023. Meanwhile, tensions persist between Khan's supporters and the government. The hearing follows government amendments to the National Accountability Ordinance, altering the powers of Pakistan's main anticorruption agency.
