On Monday, the Islamabad High Court (IHC) directed PTI Chairman Imran Khan to approach the special court against his jail trial in the cypher case.
The cypher case pertains to a missing diplomatic document from Imran’s possession. The PTI alleges that the document contained a threat from the United States to oust Khan from office.
The PTI chief was convicted and sentenced to three years in prison in the Toshakhana graft case on August 5, 2023. He was subsequently shifted to Attock jail, but the IHC suspended his sentence. However, Khan remained imprisoned because he was on judicial remand in the Cypher case.
On September 25, the IHC accepted Imran’s petition to be shifted to Adiala jail in Rawalpindi from Attock district jail.
