Bushra Bibi's Bail Hearing Allegations and Frustrations

As per details, the former first lady was present in court for a bail hearing related to cases against her and her husband Imran Khan.

Bushra Bibi expressed her frustration, stating that they have faced ongoing injustices for the past nine months. She alleged that both she and Imran Khan have been unfairly convicted across Pakistan.

During the hearing, Bushra Bibi criticized the legal process, accusing lawyers, including her own, of wasting time. She said that she would not return to the court, stating that she hadn’t come for justice because there simply wasn’t any.

Bushra Bibi also mentioned that she was prepared to go to jail, with her belongings already packed.

It’s worth mentioning here that on July 13, Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi were arrested in a fresh National Accountability Bureau (NAB) reference related to Toshakhana, hours after their acquittal in the Iddat case.

The NAB team headed by Deputy Director Mohsin Haroon arrested Imran Khan and his wife from the Adiala Jail.

The couple was sentenced to seven years in prison and awarded a fine of Rs500,000 each, in February earlier this year after a trial court found their nikah to be fraudulent.
