Former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan moved to hospital after court order, his party says

Former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan, 73, was transferred from Adiala Jail to Shifa International Hospital in Islamabad on Friday for a medical examination. This move followed a Supreme Court order earlier in the week, which mandated his transfer within 48 hours and allowed him access to a medical panel including his personal physician. Khan's party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), stated that his health has deteriorated in prison, with lawyers reporting significant vision loss in his right eye, though the government maintains no immediate treatment is required. PTI spokesperson Zulfikar Bukhari called the ruling a "new ray of hope," but the party plans a nationwide march on September 27 to demand his release and speedy hearings. Khan, imprisoned since August 2023, claims the cases against him are politically motivated.
