  "account": "West Indies cricket legend Brian Lara has joined a global call for the proper medical treatment and dignified conditions for former Pakistan captain and Prime Minister Imran Khan. In an Instagram post on Saturday, Lara expressed that the issue is one of \"basic humanity\" rather than politics. Despite only having met Imran a few times on the cricket pitch, Lara expressed his longstanding respect for the 1992 World Cup-winning captain. Writing in the post, Lara expressed his frustration at the situation, stating that he found it difficult to comprehend how someone once seen as a symbol of hope and inspiration could be denied the care and respect he deserved. Lara joined a group of 22 international cricketers, including 21 former captains, who recently wrote to Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif urging for Imran to receive \"proper, independent medical care and the dignity every human being deserves.\" The concern over Imran's health has been mounting in recent months following his hospitalizations for an eye condition known as right central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO). However, his recent stay in the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) has raised questions after he reportedly couldn't receive a necessary computed tomography angiography (CTA) due to the absence of required facilities.",
