Arrest Warrant Issued for Bushra Bibi

A Pakistani court has issued an arrest warrant for Bushra Bibi, the wife of jailed former Prime Minister Imran Khan, in a corruption case involving the illegal sale of state gifts. The warrant comes just two months after Bibi was released on bail following a nine-month imprisonment related to similar charges. Both Bibi and Khan are accused of selling gifts valued at over 140 million rupees during Khan's tenure from 2018 to 2022, which they claim belonged to the state. The case has intensified amid recent protests led by Bibi demanding Khan’s release, with reports of violence during these demonstrations. The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) is expected to carry out the arrest, further complicating the already tumultuous political landscape in Pakistan. Both Bibi and Khan deny the charges, asserting their innocence in the ongoing legal battles.
