Bushra Bibi Released on Bail After 9 Months

Bushra Bibi, the wife of former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan, has been released on bail after nearly nine months of imprisonment in connection to the Toshakhana graft case. The Islamabad High Court granted her bail amid ongoing legal proceedings related to allegations of retaining and selling state gifts at reduced prices. Despite the release, Bushra and Imran Khan, who remains imprisoned, deny any wrongdoing. The couple had initially been convicted of graft and illegal marriage; however, Bushra's graft sentence was suspended on appeal. PTI, Khan's political party, welcomed her release amidst claims of political victimization. The legal battles continue, with upcoming indictment proceedings in the Toshakhana-2 case postponed due to security concerns.
