A Pakistani court upheld the last of Imran Khan’s jail sentences, dealing a blow to the former prime minister who has been in prison for about nine months and faces dozens of other court cases.

A sessions court judge upheld a seven-year jail sentence for Khan and his wife, Bushra Bibi, in an unlawful marriage case, according to his lawyer Shoaib Shaheen. “We have the option to challenge the order in a higher court,” he said by phone.
