Richard Grenell, the incoming envoy of former U.S. President Donald Trump, has called for the release of Pakistan's former Prime Minister Imran Khan, who has been imprisoned since August 2023. Grenell, who previously served as the U.S. Ambassador to Germany and Acting Director of National Intelligence, made this demand via a post on X (formerly Twitter), urging, "Free Imran Khan." Khan was ousted from power in April 2022 through a no-confidence vote and has since faced numerous legal challenges, including charges of corruption, terrorism, and contempt of court.
