ISLAMABAD: After meeting jailed former prime minister Imran Khan at a hospital on Thursday night, Uzma Khan, his sister, revealed on Friday that he had informed her of health complications resulting from solitary confinement. Addressing a press conference in Islamabad, Uzma detailed her account of Imran's hospital visit following the Supreme Court's directives.
The court had ordered Imran's transfer to Shifa International Hospital for a medical examination, but instead, he was taken to the government-run Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (Pims). Information Minister Attaullah Tarar later disclosed that a team of doctors had examined Imran at Pims and found him "medically fit." Uzma recounted her own visit on Friday night, mentioning that they were taken to a deputy superintendent of police's room and subsequently escorted to Pims in a police vehicle.
She questioned the authorities about Imran's whereabouts, only to be informed that the transportation was arranged for a follow-up regarding his eye treatment. Imran has been admitted to Pims for treatment multiple times due to a right central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) he developed in late January.
