Pakistan ex-PM Khan indicted in leaked documents case

Pakistan’s jailed former prime-minister Imran Khan was on Monday charged with leaking classified documents and a charge that carries a prison term of up to 14 years.  He was jailed in August for the three years over a graft and his sentence was overturned.

Instead of this, he was kept in custody on the far more serious charge of sharing state documents. Former Prime Minister Khan, who once enjoyed significant support in Pakistan is now facing a strong backlash due to his campaign of defiance against the powerful military establishment. This backlash has spread throughout the nation following his ouster.
