Khan had already been serving a three year sentence prior to the event with over 150 cases that are still pending against him, ranging from contempt of court, to terrorism and inciting violence.

Known as the “Cipher Case,” Khan was convicted on Tuesday for allegedly exposing confidential documents by waving them around in a rally.

The verdict was announced in a special court inside the prison of garrison city of Rawalpindi in Pakistan where Khan was being held. Some of Khan’s legal team were denied access inside and journalists were barred from covering the event.
