Former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan has been taken to Shifa International Hospital in Islamabad for medical treatment, following complaints about his health. Khan was transferred from Adiala jail under heavy security, following a ruling by a three-judge panel of the Supreme Court. The court ordered Khan to be examined by physicians within 48 hours, and also allowed him to see his family.
The hospital's area has been sealed off by police, and the PTI, Khan's political party, has been warned not to conduct press conferences outside the facility. Khan, 73, suffers from various health conditions, and his lawyers claim he has only 15% vision left in his right eye due to prison authorities' failures to provide proper care.
Khan, a former cricketer and prime minister, has been imprisoned for over 100 charges, all of which he deems politically motivated.
