Imran Khan's judicial remand extended to September 13 in cipher case: What does this mean?

 

"Imran Khan's judicial remand in cipher case extended to September 13." This is the most straightforward way to change the wording. It simply states the facts of the case without any additional flair or interpretation.

A special court has extended the judicial remand of former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan in the cipher case until September 13.

Former Pakistani PM Imran Khan's judicial remand in cipher case extended to September 13

A special court in Pakistan has extended the judicial remand of former Prime Minister Imran Khan in a case related to the alleged disclosure of state secrets. The hearing of the case took place at the Attock District Jail, where Khan has been kept since August 5 after his conviction in a corruption case.

Judge Abual Hasnat Zulqarnain, who arrived at the jail to conduct the hearing, issued the decision on Wednesday. He ordered Khan to remain in jail until September 13.

The case against Khan stems from a 2021 incident in which he waved a confidential diplomatic cable during a political rally. The cable was allegedly leaked by the Pakistani government to Khan's political opponents.

Khan has denied any wrongdoing and has accused the government of political persecution. He has also challenged his conviction in the corruption case.

The extension of Khan's remand is likely to prolong his legal battle and keep him out of power. It also comes at a time when he is facing increasing pressure from the opposition.

The next hearing of the case is scheduled for September 13.
