Ex-Pakistan PM Imran Khan re-imprisoned
Former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan was taken back to prison at dawn today after being transferred to a private hospital in Islamabad for medical examinations, following a Supreme Court order that allowed the move due to his deteriorating health. Doctors confirmed that, based on the examinations, he is now medically fit, despite suffering significant vision loss in his right eye. Security measures were put in place for the transfer, including deployment of police forces and road closures. He is still permitted weekly visits with his family and phone communication with his two sons twice a week, according to the court’s decision. Khan, who served as Prime Minister from 2018 to 2022, has been in custody since 2023 on corruption charges that he denies. His arrest sparked widespread protests across the country, leading to violence and the imprisonment of hundreds of people.
