  "account": "Former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan, currently imprisoned in Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi, has been hospitalized for medical treatment, according to sources. The cricketer-turned-politician received an eye examination at the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) on Tuesday night, following concerns over his health, which includes blood pressure issues and reduced vision in his right eye. Khan, who has been in prison for over three years, has faced multiple corruption charges, all of which have been suspended or overturned, with pending appeals. He maintains his innocence, alleging the charges are politically motivated. This marks the first time Khan has been admitted to a hospital and returned to jail since August, when his medical visit was cut short. A Pakistani court also ordered authorities to permit Khan's legal team to visit him and his wife in jail. Khan's party deputy chairman, Shah Mehmood Qureshi, was previously hospitalized in Lahore for unspecified reasons.",
