ISLAMABAD (Reuters) -Former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan's jail remand related to charges of leaking state secrets was extended by two weeks on Wednesday, his lawyer said.

The 70-year-old former cricket star has been at the centre of a political crisis since he lost a confidence vote in parliament in April 2022, and his conviction in a separate corruption case last month resulted in him being barred from contesting national elections.
