Pakistan's anti-terrorism courts have sentenced several senior leaders of former Prime Minister Imran Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party to 10 years in prison for their roles in the violent May 9, 2023 protests, which targeted military installations. Following these convictions, the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has officially disqualified multiple PTI lawmakers, including prominent figures such as Senator Ejaz Chaudhry, MNA Mohammad Ahmed Chatta, MPA Ahmad Khan Bhachar, and MNA Abdul Latif Chitrali. The crackdown is seen as a major blow to PTI, with dozens of party members and supporters facing harsh sentences. PTI leaders have condemned the verdicts as politically motivated and vowed to challenge the rulings. The developments mark a significant escalation in Pakistan's ongoing political crisis and intensify the clampdown on Imran Khan's party since his ouster in 2022.
