The Supreme Court of Pakistan has provided bail to Imran Khan, the imprisoned former Prime Minister, across eight separate cases. The court’s decision on August 21st emphasized that there was no basis to deny bail, as the cases against him were already underway. This bail is related to the events of May 9th, 2023, when Khan’s supporters engaged in widespread protests against the Pakistani military. The protests, which caused considerable damage, represented a unique challenge to the army’s authority in the country.
