A photo of former Pakistani prime minister Imran Khan with his wife, Bushra Bibi, was accompanied by a statement from lawyer Abdul Moiz Jaferii, who criticized the verdict as an example of the country’s flawed rule of law. Lawyer Reema Omer also expressed concern, stating that the case has had a negative impact on women’s right to dignity and privacy. The couple was recently convicted and sentenced in the Iddat case, which has sparked backlash from the legal community and civil society. The verdict was denounced as a “blow to women’s right to dignity and privacy” and the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan warned of troubling implications for people’s right to privacy. The case marked the fourth conviction for Imran Khan, with critics questioning the validity and timing of the decisions.
