Pakistan ex-PM Imran Khan on his way to hospital from jail, local media outlets say
The court ordered medical treatment after Khan’s lawyers and family raised concerns about his health, and a medical board will oversee his care.
- Former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan is being transferred from Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi to a private hospital in Islamabad for medical treatment, following a Supreme Court order issued earlier this week.
- The court authorized Khan’s treatment at Shifa International Hospital after his family and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party raised concerns about his deteriorating health, including reported problems with his vision.
- The government had challenged the hospital-transfer order, arguing that granting a private facility to Khan could raise broader questions about equal treatment for other prisoners, but its review petition was returned after procedural objections.
- Khan, 73, has remained imprisoned since 2023 while facing numerous legal cases, and the hospital transfer comes amid continued political tensions between his PTI movement and Pakistan’s military-backed political establishment.
