Bushra Bibi

Force in Play

Imprisoned since January 2024, serving concurrent sentences totaling 24 years

Pakistan's former cricket star turned prime minister has been behind bars since August 2023, facing more than 200 criminal cases. In January 2025, a court sentenced him to 14 years for the Al-Qadir Trust case—bringing his total prison time to over 30 years across multiple convictions. On December 21, 2024, he received 17 years for selling state gifts including Saudi jewelry far below market value. His wife, a spiritual healer who influenced his government from behind closed doors, faces concurrent sentences totaling 24 years. Both have been blocked from meeting lawyers to sign appeals, and the UN has condemned Khan's detention conditions as torture.
