Pakistan ex-PM Imran Khan on his way to hospital from jail, local media outlets say
The court ordered treatment after lawyers said Khan was in poor health, and officials said the transfer must happen within 48 hours.
- 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.
