ISLAMABAD, August 22, 2025 – Pakistan’s Supreme Court today granted bail to former Prime Minister Imran Khan in eight cases related to the violent May 9, 2023 unrest. A three-member bench led by Chief Justice Yahya Afridi heard arguments and approved his bail petitions. However, Khan remains incarcerated due to additional pending cases against him.
Imran Khan has been detained since August 2023, following convictions in multiple legal cases, including corruption and state gifts. His legal team has welcomed the court’s decision, though release remains uncertain pending resolution of other charges. Government officials reiterated that granting bail does not equate to acquittal, and trials in these cases are still ongoing.
