  "summary": "Bushra Bibi has approached the Islamabad High Court (IHC) seeking a comprehensive evaluation of her medical condition and immediate access to specialized eye care. According to Dawn, the application requests an examination by an ophthalmologist and permission for her to receive treatment from doctors of her choice at her own expense due to concerns regarding her deteriorating eyesight. The petition, filed in connection with pending appeals in the £190 million case, also asks the court to direct Adiala Jail authorities to produce all relevant medical records and provide complete details of her diagnosis and treatment.\n\nThe Express Tribune - Pakistan reports that Barrister Salman Safdar, counsel for Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi, submitted an affidavit to the IHC detailing a recent meeting at Adiala Jail. Safdar stated that Bushra's eyes appeared to be in an extremely vulnerable condition and that she appeared in severe distress when she removed dark glasses during the meeting. He noted that Bushra told them she could not tolerate sunlight or artificial light and could not open her eyes without the glasses.\n\nBushra Bibi is currently serving a seven-year sentence in the £190 million corruption case. Dawn reports she was also sentenced to 17 years’ imprisonment in December 2025 in the Toshakhana-2 case involving a jewellery set gifted to Imran Khan by the Saudi crown prince.",
