Former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan will be shifted from jail to Shifa International Hospital within 48 hours following an order by the Pakistan Supreme Court, his Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party said on Tuesday. The 73-year-old politician has been imprisoned since August 2023 and faces several criminal cases. Concerns over his health have increased, particularly after his lawyers said he had lost 85% of the vision in his right eye, leaving him with only 15% vision. The court has ordered him to remain in hospital until September 16. Khan and his party have repeatedly claimed that several cases against him are politically motivated. (PC: X)
