ALBAWABA - Earlier today, former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi were sentenced to 14 years in jail after being found guilty of graft in a case involving gifts he received while in office. 

Bushra Bibi, Khan's wife, remained on probation throughout the trial.

This verdict comes just a day after Imran Khan, along with his party's VP Mahmood Qureshi, was sentenced to 10 years in jail, in a state secrets case that may be challenged in higher court.
