Former Pakistan PM Imran Khan Shifted To Islamabad Hospital After Supreme Court Order; Massive Crowd Gathers Outside - VIDEO

Imran Khan, the former Prime Minister of Pakistan, was transferred to Islamabad’s Shifa International Hospital on Friday, following a directive from the Supreme Court. Hundreds of security personnel were stationed around the hospital, while a significant number of Khan’s supporters gathered outside, despite knowing they would not be permitted to approach the facility.

Khan, 73, was brought to the hospital under tight security, with roads leading to the medical center sealed off. The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) spokesperson, Zulfi Bukhari, confirmed Khan’s arrival at the hospital, stating that the Supreme Court’s order had been followed. The transfer came after the Supreme Court ordered Khan to be moved to Shifa International Hospital within 48 hours for a medical examination.

Khan’s medical panel, which would include his personal physician, was to assess and treat him, with the cost covered by his family. The court also directed that Dr. Uzma and Khan’s personal doctor be present during the examination and treatment. Khan, who served as Prime Minister from 2018 to 2022, was imprisoned since 2023 on corruption charges, which he claims are politically motivated.
