Imran Khan's sister, Uzma Khan, revealed on Friday that her brother complained to her about health issues caused by solitary confinement while he was hospitalized. This came as she addressed a press conference in Islamabad, recounting her meeting with the former Prime Minister. Imran was transferred to a hospital following the Supreme Court's orders, after the jail superintendent submitted a report on his health status.
The court had initially directed Imran to the Shifa International Hospital for a medical examination, but the government opted to take him to the government-run Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (Pims) instead. Information Minister Attaullah Tarar stated that a team of doctors had conducted a comprehensive examination at Pims, and declared Imran "medically fit".
Uzma Khan, alongside Imran's personal physician Dr Faisal Sultan, received a call on Friday to visit the Adiala jail. They were subsequently taken to a deputy superintendent of police's room, identified as Sibtain.
