ISLAMABAD — Pakistan’s former Prime Minister Imran Khan was briefly taken out of prison and moved to a hospital for an urgent medical check-up before being sent back to his cell, officials confirmed.
Brief Hospital Visit Under Tight Security
Authorities moved the 72-year-old leader from Rawalpindi’s high-security Adiala Jail to the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) in Islamabad.
Doctors carried out a detailed eye examination and provided necessary care. Along with his eye treatment, medical staff also checked and treated him for blood pressure-related complaints.
Security around the hospital was kept extremely tight during his stay to prevent any untoward incidents or gatherings by his supporters.
Back in Adiala Jail
Once doctors finished the tests and administered initial treatment, authorities immediately escorted Khan back to Adiala Jail. Officials stated that his condition was stable following the check-up.
Ongoing Health Concerns
Khan has been held in prison since August 2023 following convictions in multiple legal cases, all of which he and his party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), claim are politically driven. Over recent months, his family, legal team, and party workers have repeatedly raised alarms over his health conditions and access to proper medical attention while behind bars.
