STORYLINE:
A Pakistani appeals court on Tuesday suspended the corruption conviction and three-year prison term of Imran Khan in a legal victory for the hugely popular embattled former prime minister, his lawyers and court officials said.
Although he will face a retrial in due course, the ruling will enable Khan, 70, to contest the upcoming parliamentary elections.
Khan has denied the charges, insisting he did not violate any rules.
The Islamabad High Court also granted bail for Khan, but his detention will continue at least until Wednesday because of his arrest in another case for allegedly revealing official secrets.
It was not immediately clear if he will be released at all as he faces a multitude of other charges brought since his ouster through a no-confidence vote in the parliament in April 2022.
Khan lawyer Shoaib Shaheen said the Islamabad High Court issued a brief verbal order and a written ruling will be issued later.
Khan was convicted and sentenced earlier this month by a court that found him guilty of concealing assets after selling state gifts he received while in office.
Earlier this month, Pakistan’s Election Commission had disqualified Khan from running for office for five years.
Under Pakistan’s laws, no convicted person is eligible to lead a party, run in elections, or hold public office.
Khan's spokesman, Zulfiqar Bukhari, in a statement welcomed the court order, hoping the former premier would be freed from the Attock prison in the eastern Punjab province where he has been held since his arrest earlier this month.
