BBC: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pakistan\u2019s former Prime Minister Imran Khan has now been behind bars for a year \u2013 although there are times you would barely know it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mr Khan is still the dominant force of Pakistan\u2019s opposition politics; his name still in the papers and the courts. His social media supporters have been unrelenting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With no public appearances, the few people allowed in to see the former cricket star regularly \u2013 his lawyers and family \u2013 have become his conduit for messages to the outside world. They are keen to push the message that his 365 days behind bars have left him unbowed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThere is still a swagger about him,\u201d Aleema Khanum, Imran Khan\u2019s sister, says. \u201cHe\u2019s got no needs, no wants – only a cause.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to those who visit him, Mr Khan spends his days on his exercise bike, reading and reflecting. He has an hour a day to walk around the courtyard. There have been occasional disagreements about how quickly the family can provide him with new books.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHe has said \u2018I\u2019m not wasting a minute of my time in jail, it\u2019s an opportunity for me to get more knowledge\u2019,\u201d Ms Khanum tells the BBC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But the fact is Mr Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi are still trapped in prison, with no sign they will be released any time soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to some, this is not a surprise.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
