The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has raised concerns that their founder and former Prime Minister, Imran Khan, is being shifted from jail to a hospital without proper disclosure, a move they deem a violation of his rights and a threat to his life. PTI insists that any medical procedures should involve his personal doctors and a family member present. Reports suggest Imran Khan has been facing health issues, including vision loss in one eye.
Imran Khan’s family and legal representatives have criticized prison authorities for inadequate healthcare provision. PTI has strongly opposed the secrecy surrounding Khan’s health status, emphasizing the need for transparency and immediate medical attention. The party demands that no delays occur in addressing Khan’s health concerns and stresses the importance of his well-being.
Pakistan’s opposition alliance recently staged a sit-in near Parliament House to draw attention to Imran Khan’s deteriorating health while in custody. Additionally, the Tehreek Tahafuz-i-Ayeen Pakistan (TTAP), which includes PTI, initiated a protest outside Parliament House, advocating for Khan’s transfer to Al-Shifa Hospital for treatment. The Supreme Court of Pakistan has instructed the establishment of a medical board to assess Khan’s eye condition following reports of vision impairment.
