  5. good .. imran khan caused so much damage to pakistan in his 4 years… he was the puppit of army … all his legal illegal childrens are still with goldsmith family… laier khan the end

  7. Imran Khan is a political victim of the junta ruling Pakistan and these cases on him and these judgements are partr of prepoll rigging.The crimnal is also kidnapping ,illegal detaining thousands of men and women of PTI and illegally murdering hundred of PTI workers.

  8. The west is a hypocrites with mafia type democracy the world knows it . What goes around comes around. Trump will fix you . Imran khan is the last nail on the selective democracy. Like bbc cnn n other media outlets

  18. For your information, Imran Khan was not previously convicted. He is an honest person. However, the judiciary appears biased as they did not allow Imran Khan's lawyers to properly defend the case. In contrast, the Sharif and Bhutto families received millions in gifts without payment, while Imran Khan paid the stated value for those gifts. If a fair judge who fears Allah hears the appeal cases of Imran Khan should dismiss these cases and release Imran Khan. It's disheartening the Chief Justice seems biased; action should be taken against corrupt judges.immediately ana justice should be done immediately in pakistan.

  21. All ilegal cases polictally motivated he has paid money for state gifts whilst others didnt pay at all. This is all at the behest of usa and uk along corrupt with nawaz sharif. Imran khan was shot 4 times but the accused still not sentanced. This trail was illegal held in jail and his defence layers denied access

  23. This is made by pakistani army General Asim and Bajwa , the country is never run by democracy alwas in the hands of army directly or indirectly through corrupt politicians like Nawaz and Zardari but Imran khan is different so they just want to eliminate him , pakistan bigger problem is their own army which is corrupt and not loyal to their people.
