The Spin

Narrative A

The ongoing imprisonment of Imran Khan has no legal basis. His prosecution of several offenses lacked a legal basis and was carried out to keep him and his Tehreek-e-Insaf party out of power. He needs to be released immediately and given reparations for his persecution by the current Pakistani government.

Narrative B

Given how corrupt the current Pakistani leadership is, there's less than a 1% chance Imran Khan will be getting out of prison anytime soon. They know he is far more popular than any of them, and having him back on the streets would risk their current grip on power.
