Former Pakistani PM Imran Khan has been sentenced to 3 years in jail after being found guilty of “corrupt practices” linked to selling state gifts worth hundreds of millions of rupees. On Saturday, a judge in Islamabad found the former cricketer had “deliberately submitted fake details” to the court of the gifts received and was guilty of “hiding the benefits he accrued” by selling them. Khan – who’s facing nearly 150 court cases on various charges – denies any wrongdoing and called on his supporters to protest. The sentence means he’s banned from politics for 5 years, derailing his hopes of success in elections scheduled for November. And in Russia, imprisoned opposition leader Alexei Navalny’s had his jail term extended by 19 years. Already serving a 9-year sentence, Navalny was found guilty of founding an extremist organisation. He denies that, and the US State Department described the verdict as “an unjust conclusion to an unjust trial”.
