ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s jail detention related to charges of leaking state secrets was extended for another two weeks, his lawyer said on Wednesday.

In late August, a high court suspended Khan’s prison sentence for corruption just weeks after he was jailed, but a prior order for his remand in custody in the state secrets case prevented his release.
The latest extension of the remand order will keep Khan in jail until September 26, lawyer Naeem Panjutha said in a post on X messaging platform.
In the state secrets case, Khan is charged with making public contents of a confidential cable sent by Pakistan’s ambassador to the United States and using it for political gain, according to a Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) document seen by Reuters.
