Former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan's judicial remand has been extended by a special court until September 13. The case involves the alleged disclosure of state secrets and the misuse of a confidential diplomatic cable, which Khan had waved during a political rally before being ousted from office last year.
The hearing took place at Attock District Jail, where Khan has been held since August 5 after his conviction in the Toshakhana corruption case. Khan's lawyers argue that there is no legitimate case against him and that the entire matter has been concocted for political revenge. Meanwhile, Khan has challenged the transfer of the court to Attock jail, stating that it is illegal.
