RAWALPINDI:

A special court set up under the Official Secrets Act will hear the cipher case against Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan on Tuesday (today) at the Adiala Jail.

Judge Abual Hasnat Zulqarnain will also hear the petition regarding the WhatsApp call of Imran with his sons for which a notice has been issued to the jail superintendent.

In the cipher case, the lawyers are scheduled to cross-examine the prosecution witnesses.

The PTI chairman’s wife, Bushra Bibi, Aleema Khan, Uzma Khan and his nephew, while the accused Shah Mahmood Qureshi's two daughters, wife, and son will also hear the proceedings.

Imran and Qureshi will also be presented in the new court. The jail’s community hall has been declared a regular court.

Dilawar Habibi | 4 months ago | Reply The document was provided to The Intercept by an anonymous source in the Pakistani military who said that they had no ties to Imran Khan or Khan s party. The Intercept is publishing the body of the cable below correcting minor typos in the text because such details can be used to watermark documents and track their dissemination. The cable reveals both the carrots and the sticks that the State Department deployed in its push against Prime Minister Imran Khan. The contents of the document obtained by The Intercept are consistent with reporting in the Pakistani newspaper Dawn and elsewhere describing the circumstances of the meeting and details in the cable itself including in the classification markings omitted from The Intercept s presentation. The dynamics of the relationship between Pakistan and the U.S. described in the cable were subsequently borne out by events. In the cable the U.S. objects to Khan s foreign policy on the Ukraine war. Those positions were quickly reversed after his removal which was followed as promised in the meeting by a warming between the U.S. and Pakistan.
