The recent verdict against former Prime Minister Imran Khan and ex-Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi regarding the disclosure of state secrets has sparked widespread criticism from legal experts and political analysts. The special court handed both politicians 10-year jail sentences, leading to concerns about the impartiality of the trial and the integrity of the judiciary. The case, known as the cipher case, revolves around a diplomatic document that the Federal Investigation Agency claims was not returned by Imran. The PTI party has maintained that the document contained a threat from the United States to remove Imran as prime minister. The swift and contentious nature of the trial has raised questions about transparency and credibility within the judiciary. Many have expressed disappointment with the verdict, with concerns over the impact on democracy and the necessity for a fair trial. Furthermore, there is widespread skepticism regarding the haste of the trial and the resulting sentence, with some experts calling for the electoral process to determine the outcome of such matters. The ruling has stirred discussions on social media, with many lamenting the weakening of democracy and the perceived lack of due process in the case.
