Description
Invited by The Economist to share his perspective from prison, Imran Khan, the ousted prime minister of Pakistan, sheds light on the unjust suppression of his party.

He points to the questionable actions of the election commission, emphasizing its defiance of the Supreme Court and hindrance of his party's democratic processes.
