The Islamabad High Court has granted a two-week interim bail to former
Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan in a corruption case. The case, which
dates back to Khan’s time as a provincial government official, alleges that
he misused his authority to award contracts to his acquaintances. Khan has
denied the charges, calling them politically motivated. The court has asked
Khan to submit a surety bond of PKR 10 million ($65,000) as a condition of
the bail. Khan has been directed to appear before the court on May 25.
