Imran Khan turns 74 behind bars as Pakistan's military grip endures
Original: Imran Khan at 74: From cricket glory to a prison cell, Pakistan’s decades-old Military dictatorship continues
Imran Khan, Pakistan's former prime minister and 1992 cricket World Cup-winning captain, marks his 74th birthday in prison, where he has been jailed since 2023 on charges he and his supporters say are politically motivated. Commentary marking the occasion argues his imprisonment reflects the enduring dominance of Pakistan's military establishment over civilian politics, a struggle ongoing since the country's founding.
Why now: The occasion of his 74th birthday has renewed attention on his imprisonment and the state of democracy in Pakistan.
