Lawyer Questions Handling of Cipher Case, Seeks Suspension of Sentences
- Lawyer raises concerns over handling of cipher case, says foreign ministry seemed "unbothered" by document's disappearance
- Seeks suspension of Imran Khan and Shah Mehmood Qureshi's sentences in cipher case, but court declines
- Contends cipher still exists in records and was shared with 8 individuals, claims misplacing it may be negligence not a crime
- Notes foreign ministry didn't show concern when cipher went missing, interior ministry "hijacked" case
- If Azam Khan's testimony about handing cipher to Imran Khan excluded, no evidence it was misplaced from former PM's custody
