Imprisoned former Pakistani prime minister Imran Khan was transferred from Adiala prison to Shifa International Hospital in Islamabad for a medical examination ordered by the Supreme Court. 🏥
The court directed that Khan be examined by a medical board including specialists and one of his personal physicians, following months of concerns raised by his family and party about his health and access to care.
Khan has been imprisoned since 2023 after convictions in multiple cases. He and his Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party say the cases are politically motivated. ⚖️
It remains unclear whether Khan will return to prison after the examination or stay at the hospital for treatment. The court also ordered regular family meetings and calls with his sons.
