On January 13th 2025 the court in Islamabad Pakistan said no to three bail requests from Bushra Bibi. She’s the wife of the former Prime Minister Imran Khan. The judge Muhammad Afzal Mujoka heard what both sides had to say the lawyer for the government Iqbal Kakhar and Bushra Bibi’s lawyer Khalid Yousaf Chaudhry. Her lawyer also asked if she could skip showing up in person.
These bail requests came about because of some accusations but the exact details weren’t given. The government lawyer argued against giving her bail. Because her bail was rejected it means the court thinks there is enough reason to not let her go free. She might have to go through more legal stuff and could even be arrested.
This court decision is important because it shows the problems Bushra Bibi and Imran Khan are facing in court. This also shows that the courts are getting tougher on people connected to Khan. It comes after Khan left his position and his people keep having trouble with the law.
