Pakistan’s ex-PM Imran Khan taken back to prison from hospital
A spokesperson for Khan's party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, confirmed that the former prime minister had been taken back to Adiala prison in the garrison city of Rawalpindi.
Former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan, 73, was recently moved back to prison after a brief stay at Shifa International Hospital in Islamabad. This move came after the Supreme Court ordered his transfer for a medical examination, following their ruling this week. Khan's party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, confirmed the transfer to Adiala prison in Rawalpindi, his current place of confinement.
Khan, who has been imprisoned since August 2023, maintains that the charges against him are politically motivated, a claim his government disputes. His legal team has expressed concerns over his deteriorating health in prison, citing significant vision loss in his right eye. However, the government maintains that medical reports found no immediate treatment necessary.
On Tuesday, the Supreme Court directed authorities to transfer Khan to Shifa International Hospital within 48 hours, allowing him access to a medical panel including his personal physician.
