Imran Khan, Pakistan’s former prime minister and cricket legend, is being moved from prison to a hospital after the Supreme Court ruled he needs urgent medical care — including specialist eye treatment — amid claims of neglect. The 73-year-old, jailed since August 2023 on politically contested charges, will be transferred within 48 hours to Shifa International Hospital in Islamabad. He’ll also get weekly family visits and phone calls with his sons, while authorities urge supporters to stay away to prevent unrest. With over 100 legal cases pending since his arrest, this court order underscores the ongoing battle for his health and rights — even as he remains a towering political figure in Pakistan.
