Imran Khan’s family and party say Pakistan violated court order by taking him to government hospital

Islamabad (AP) — Pakistan's government dismissed claims made by former Prime Minister Imran Khan's family and political party that his detention involved "cruelty, mental torture, punitive solitary confinement and medical neglect." These allegations, according to the government, are baseless and lack support from prison and medical records. Khan remains in custody as a convicted prisoner serving sentences handed down by courts following legal proceedings, rather than being held under a government order.
