Imran Khan transferred from jail to Islamabad hospital after Supreme Court order

A spokesperson for Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf told journalists that former prime minister Imran Khan was transferred from Adiala Jail to Shifa International Hospital in Islamabad after the Supreme Court ordered the move. The party highlighted concerns from Khan’s supporters that his health has deteriorated during his three-year detention, including significant loss of vision in his right eye. Government medical assessments had earlier stated that no condition required immediate treatment.

Analysts suggest the relocation could represent an initial effort to reduce the strained relationship between Khan’s party and the country’s influential military, which has been tense since his removal from office in 2022. The situation remains fluid, with further developments expected.
