00:00 Imran Khan's legal saga continues to play out in Pakistan.
00:05 On Tuesday, an appeals court suspended a three-year sentence for the country's former prime minister
00:10 in a graft investigation.
00:13 There were hopes Khan would be released from jail, but his lawyers claim a manipulation
00:17 of justice is keeping their client behind bars.
00:20 Suspension of sentences is when the court considers that the judgment is not sustainable,
00:24 there are illegalities committed during the trial, there are rights violated of the accused
00:28 person, in those cases the judgment could be suspended.
00:31 To date, the judgment was suspended by two judges of the high court and soon, inshallah
00:36 Allah, Imran Khan would be out of jail in this case.
00:39 Imran Khan's run-ins with the law began after his ouster from office in a no-confidence
00:44 vote last year.
00:46 Since then, he's gone head-to-head with Pakistan's powerful military establishment, even accusing
00:51 it of orchestrating his legal troubles and trying to destroy his party.
00:55 Despite Khan's mounting legal troubles, his popularity within Pakistan continues to soar.
01:03 We came here to welcome our leader.
01:05 The court made a good decision to release Imran Khan, but suddenly we found out that
01:09 he has been detained in another case.
01:13 We're disappointed with this news because we were happy that we would be able to see
01:16 our leader.
01:18 Pakistan is due to hold elections later this year, although no date has so far been set.
01:23 Political experts in the country are divided on whether Khan will be able to contest the
01:27 vote once he's released.
