Jailed former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for his rule and efforts for human rights and democracy.
The announcement was made early Saturday by members of the Pakistan World Alliance (PWA) - an advocacy group founded last December - who also belong to the Norwegian political party Partiet Sentrum.
"We are pleased to announce on behalf of the Sentrum Parties that in alliance with someone with the right to nominate, we have nominated Mr. Khan."
In 2019, Khan was also nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to promote peace in South Asia.
Every year, the Norwegian Nobel Committee receives hundreds of nominations, after which they select the winner through a lengthy eight-month process.
Khan, also the founder of Pakistan's main opposition party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), has been imprisoned since August 2023.
This January, he was sentenced to 14 years in prison in a case related to abuse of authority and corruption.
This was the fourth major case in which the former prime minister has been convicted.
Three previous convictions related to the sale of state gifts, disclosure of state secrets, and illegal marriage were overturned or suspended by the courts.
Khan lost power after a no-confidence vote in April 2022. He denies all charges against him, calling them politically motivated.
