Faiz Hameed to testify against Imran Khan, risking treason trial

• Pakistan Army chief Asim Munir is reportedly pressuring former ISI chief Faiz Hameed to testify against Imran Khan.
• Faiz Hameed received a 14-year sentence from a court martial for political activities and faces inquiry for May 2023 attacks.
• Senator Faisal Vawda claims Faiz Hameed is prepared to provide evidence against Imran Khan.
• Defence Minister Khawaja Asif alleges Imran Khan and Faiz Hameed jointly planned the May 9 violence to prevent Munir's appointment as Army chief.
