A Pakistani appeals court on April 1 suspended a 14-year prison sentence for former Prime Minister Imran Khan and his wife, Bushra Bibi, in a corruption case, but the couple won't be released because they are already serving prison terms in other cases, officials said. However, the court order was a legal victory for Khan, who was ousted from power in a no-confidence vote in April 2022. Khan now has more than 170 legal cases hanging over him.
