A Pakistan court on Thursday handed down 10-year jail term each to 166 members, including some lawmakers, of incarcerated ex-PM Imran Khan’s party in connection with the May 9, 2023 attack on the ISI building and other military installations in the Punjab province.

The sentencing of leaders of Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) — including opposition leaders in the National Assembly and Senate and several other lawmakers — has come just a week before the proposed launch of ‘Free Imran Khan Movement’ from August 5 across the country.

The PTI has strongly condemned the verdict by the Faisalabad Anti-terrorism Court. In May 2023, Khan’s party workers vandalised a dozen military installations, including the Jinnah House (Lahore Corps Commander House), Mianwali Airbase and the ISI building in Faisalabad.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
