Jailed Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi on Monday filed separate appeals in the Islamabad High Court (IHC) against their convictions in the Toshakhana-2 case, challenging the 17-year prison sentences awarded by a special court earlier this month. The appeals contest the December 20 verdict by a special judge, who sentenced the former prime minister and his spouse to 17 years’ imprisonment each over the under-priced purchase of luxury state gifts. The couple were also fined Rs16.4 million in the case.
