Imran Khan is still the dominant force of Pakistan ’s opposition politics; his name still in the papers and courts.

The former cricket star has been behind bars for a year but is still a force in opposition politics.

His sister Aleema Khanum says he is unbowed and has 'no needs, no wants - only a cause'.

All three of the sentences handed down just before the election have fallen away.

But none have yet had a practical impact: Mr Khan is still in jail with new cases against his name.

Meanwhile, the government has made it clear that it sees Mr Khan and his party as a public threat.

The military also shows no indication it has changed its mind.
