A SPECIAL court in Pakistan on Tuesday (26) extended the judicial remand of former prime minister Imran Khan for another 14 days in the Cipher case.

Khan, also the chief of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party, was arrested last month after a case was filed against him for allegedly violating the Official Secrets Act by disclosing a secret diplomatic cable (cipher) sent by the country's embassy in Washington last year.

It is the third time that Khan, 70, has been sent to jail on remand. The previous 14-day remand ended on Tuesday.

Special court judge Abual Hasnat Zulqernain conducted hearings in the District Jail in Attock near Islamabad, where Khan has been detained since August 5 after his arrest following conviction in the Toshakhana case.

The court also extended the remand of former foreign minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi for the same period.

Though the Islamabad High Court on Monday (25) ordered authorities to shift Khan to the Adiala jail in Rawalpindi, the directive was not implemented.

The authorities were allowed to conduct hearings of the case in the jail due to security concerns.

Tim Friede survives 200 snakebites to help create universal antivenom

Scientists have developed a potentially groundbreaking snake antivenom using the blood of Tim Friede, a US man who has spent nearly two decades injecting himself with venom from some of the world’s deadliest snakes. The research has led to the discovery of antibodies offering unprecedented protection against a broad range of venomous species.

Friede, a former truck mechanic, has been bitten more than 200 times and injected himself with venom over 700 times in an attempt to build immunity. His goal, initially motivated by personal safety while handling snakes, evolved into a mission to aid global snakebite victims. Each year, snakebites kill up to 140,000 people and cause permanent injury or disability in many more, particularly in developing countries.
