Pakistan’s Supreme Court has ordered the immediate transfer of former Prime Minister Imran Khan from Adiala Jail to Shifa International Hospital in Islamabad for medical treatment. The 73-year-old former cricketer has been in prison since August 2023, while his family and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) have repeatedly raised concerns about his health. The court directed authorities to shift Khan within 48 hours and keep him at the hospital until September 16, unless doctors consider him fit to leave. A medical board will assess his condition, with access for his personal doctor and sister. The order follows concerns over his eyesight and overall health. (PC: India Today)
