In Rawalpindi, an Anti-Terrorism Court pushed forward with the trial of former Prime Minister Imran Khan, opting to collect testimonies from three additional prosecution witnesses, despite the fervent objections of Khan's defense team.
The defense called for a pause in the trial, seeking permission for Khan to appear in person rather than via video link from Adiala Jail. However, the court upheld its original decision, arguing the defense lacked a valid challenge to already dismissed applications.
Amidst ongoing legal skirmishes, the trial's location and format remain under scrutiny, fueled by security concerns and prior incidents of unrest. The prosecution anticipates wrapping up its evidence presentation shortly, paving the way for the cross-examination phase.
