The trial of jailed former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan will be held behind closed doors, his lawyer said on Thursday, a day after he was indicted for leaking state secrets, blocking his chances to contest a national election in February.
Pakistan's caretaker government refused to present former Prime Minister Imran Khan before the Election Commission, which is hearing a contempt of case against the jailed cricketer-turned-politician, citing security threats.
The Anti-Corruption Establishment (ACE) of Punjab has lodged the latest case against Khan, as well as his sister Uzma Khan, her husband, and former Punjab chief minister Usman Buzdar
