As a result, the election commission barred him from contesting elections for five years, and although the prison sentence was suspended last month the conviction still stands.<\/p>\n<p>(Inputs from Reuters)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/www.hamslive.com\/news\/2023\/09\/pakistan-ex-pm-imran-khans-jail-extended-for-two-weeks\/\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground: #ffffff !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 100% !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pakistan&#8217;s former Prime Minister Imran Khan&#8217;s jail detention related to charges of leaking state secrets was extended for another two weeks, his lawyer said on September 13.
