This case should have been against Nawaz Sharif and his son, who sold their 9-billion-rupee property in the UK to Malik Riaz for 18 billion rupees

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan – Former Prime Minister of Pakistan, Mr. Imran Khan has been sentenced to 14 years imprisonment.
He was convicted on 190 million Pounds Sterling in the Al-Qadir Trust case.
He wife Bushra Bibi was also punished. The court imposed fines of Rs 1 million on Imran and another Rs500,000 on his wife, Bushra Bibi.
The court also ordered forfeiture of the Al-Qadir University Project Trust case.
Speaking after the conviction, he told his followers:
“First and foremost, you must not lose hope”, adding “I will never accept this dictatorship, and I am prepared to remain in a prison cell for as long as it takes in the struggle against this tyranny.
“I will not compromise on my principles or the fight for the true freedom of the nation”, he said.
Khan said he will fight until the last ball to achieve this.
“I will not strike any deals and will face all the baseless cases against me.
“Once again, I urge the nation to read the Hamoodur Rahman Commission Report. The history of 1971 is being repeated in Pakistan.
“Yahya Khan destroyed the country, and today, the dictator is doing the same to protect his dictatorship and personal gains, pushing the country to the brink of destruction”, he said.
Continuing, he asserted, “following the dark verdict in the Al-Qadir Trust case, the judiciary has further eroded its credibility. Judges who support tyranny and act on directives are rewarded.
“The judges nominated for the Islamabad High Court have only one qualification: delivering rulings against me.
“This case should have been against Nawaz Sharif and his son, who sold their 9-billion-rupee property in the UK to Malik Riaz for 18 billion rupees.
“The question should be, where did they get the 9 billion rupees? The receipts demanded from them in the Panama case have never been produced.
“Alongside Qazi Faez Isa, they had billions of rupees in money laundering pardoned in the Hudaibiya Paper Mills case.
“The Al-Qadir University, like Shaukat Khanum Hospital and Namal University, is a free charitable institution for the public, where students were being educated about the life of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Neither I nor Bushra Bibi gained a single penny from the Al-Qadir University, nor did the government incur any loss.
“Even the land of the Al-Qadir Trust has been taken back, which will only harm the underprivileged students who were studying about the life of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
“The outcome of the Al-Qadir Trust case was known to everyone beforehand. Whether it was the delay in the verdict or the discussions regarding punishment, everything was leaked to the media in advance. Such mockery has never been witnessed in the history of the judiciary. The same person who dictated the verdict to the judge also leaked it to the media.
“My wife is a homemaker with no connection to politics. Bushra Bibi was punished solely to cause me pain and exert pressure on me. She has previously been implicated in baseless cases but has always faced them as a test from Allah and remained steadfast in supporting my cause.
“If there is no progress in the negotiations regarding the establishment of a judicial commission for the events of May 9 (2023), and November 26 (2024) then continuing the talks would be pointless.
“Dishonest individuals never allow neutral umpires to intervene. The government is avoiding the demand for a judicial commission because it is dishonest”, he said.
