On Saturday, an Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) in Lahore ruled Imran Khan, the founder of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), guilty in connection with the events of May 9 and denied his bail in eight different cases.

The ruling was detailed in a six-page written decision by Judge Manzar Ali Gul of the ATC.

The written judgment pointed to considerable evidence against Khan, which included audio and video recordings of him urging violent actions.

The court mentioned that witnesses had testified about a conspiracy led by Imran Khan at Zaman Park, where he supposedly prepared for his imminent arrest by instructing his supporters to disrupt state activities.

Khan’s legal representatives contended that he had been detained during the incidents in question, arguing that bail should be granted based on past cases where bail was approved following an arrest.
