Imran Khan repeatedly being tortured in Rawalpindi prison, his sister says

Former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan is enduring repeated torture in Rawalpindi prison, according to allegations from his sister. This followed his transfer back to Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi, where he was moved after undergoing a medical examination at a private hospital in Islamabad. The 73-year-old received admission to Shifa International Hospital following a Supreme Court order, due to a medical report indicating he was experiencing severe anxiety.

Khan's custody began on August 5, 2023, after his arrest on multiple charges, including corruption. He has been held in custody ever since. The Supreme Court ordered Khan's transfer to Shifa International Hospital within two days, where he will remain until the next hearing of his case on September 16. The demands for his move to a private hospital escalated after an eye condition was detected.

Khan had visited the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences in Islamabad multiple times for eye treatment since late January due to a condition called right central retinal vein occlusion.
