Imran Khan Oxford University chancellor bid rejected, says adviser

Mr Khan has been jailed since his arrest on 5 August 2023.

His lawyers and [his political party] PTI claim that more than 200 cases have been registered against him and only two cases were decided in this time.

Mr Khan was exonerated in an illegal marriage case and the cypher case, in which he was accused of divulging state secrets. He was also granted bail in more than two dozen cases by the local courts but he remains behind bars.

Currently he is under trial in a case registered by the National Accountability Bureau, in which he is accused of misusing his prime ministership to unlawfully buy and sell state gifts and for not declaring his assets.

The ex-prime minister has also been booked in numerous cases around the violent riots that broke out after he was first taken into custody.
