Imran Khan and
Shah Mahmood Qureshi were charged under the Official Secrets Act for allegedly
mishandling a diplomatic cable, known as the "cipher". The specific
charges against them include:
Sharing
classified information: The cable
reportedly contained sensitive information about a foreign communication
regarding a no-confidence motion against Khan's government. Khan is accused of
sharing this information with unauthorized people, including foreign officials.
Breach of trust: Qureshi, who was Foreign Minister at the time, is accused of
breaching his duty by failing to safeguard the classified information.
It's important
to note that the verdict in this case is currently under appeal, and both Khan
and Qureshi maintain their innocence. The legal proceedings are ongoing, and
it's crucial to stay informed from credible sources for the latest updates.
