During the T20 World Cup match b/w India-Pakistan in New York on June 09, an aircraft carrying ‘Release Imran Khan’ message was spotted over the stadium. The aircraft carrying ‘Release Imran Khan’ message was spotted flying above the match venue in Nassau, New York, USA. Earlier this month, Islamabad High Court acquitted Imran Khan and overturned his conviction but he will remain in prison in another case. He will remain in prison serving a seven-year sentence over another case relating to his marriage to his third wife. The state secrets case was one of four in which Khan was convicted just ahead of Pakistan’s national election in February. Imran Khan was sentenced to 10 years in prison on charges of leaking state secrets popularly known as ‘cipher case’. He has been in jail since August last year (2023) and his party Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf was banned from contesting elections. Despite being banned from the February election, candidates backed by the jailed Imran Khan still won the most seats. They did not have the numbers to form the government, which was instead led by an alliance of his rivals led by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.
