What are the cases against former Pakistan PM Imran Khan?

Pakistan's Supreme Court ordered authorities to move former Prime Minister Imran Khan to hospital from jail, where he has been lodged for ​the last three years, his lawyer and party said ​on Tuesday.

Since he lost power in a no-confidence vote in 2022, Khan has faced multiple cases on ​corruption charges, including over state gifts and an accusation of an unlawful marriage.

His family and party have said they fear for his deteriorating health in prison and say they have been denied access to him. His lawyer told a court earlier this year that Khan had lost significant vision in his right eye while in ‌custody. A medical board ⁠later ⁠said his vision had improved.

All of his convictions but one have been suspended or overturned, with appeals pending. He denies wrongdoing.

Following are details of the main cases among over 100 ​he says have been launched against him.

Land bribery case

Khan was convicted and sentenced to 14 years in jail in 2025 in a land corruption case ​where prosecutors said he and his wife received land as a bribe through the Al-Qadir Trust - a charitable trust set up by Bushra Bibi, Khan's third wife, and Khan in 2018 when still in office.

Pakistani authorities have accused Khan and his wife of receiving the land, worth ​up to 7 billion rupees ($25 million), from a property developer charged in Britain with money laundering.

Authorities ⁠accused Khan ‌of getting the land in exchange for a favour to return 190 million pounds to the property developer ​that had been repatriated ​to Pakistan by Britain in the money laundering probe.
