Imran Khan Returns to Jail After Hospital Treatment
Former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan was taken to a hospital in Islamabad for an eye examination and treatment for blood pressure-related problems before being returned to Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi. Officials confirmed on Wednesday, November 11, that the 74-year-old politician received medical attention late Tuesday amid continuing concerns about his health in custody.
Imran Khan Undergoes Eye Examination in Islamabad
Khan was taken to the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS), where doctors examined his eyes and treated him for blood pressure problems.
An official confirmed that Khan received the necessary treatment before being transferred back to his prison cell.
His lawyers have repeatedly raised concerns about his deteriorating health, claiming that he has experienced significant vision loss in his right eye.
The hospital visit was his first known transfer for medical treatment followed by a return to prison since August, when an earlier visit was cut short.
Imran Khan Remains in Jail Amid Corruption Cases
Khan has spent more than three years in prison following multiple corruption cases initiated after his removal from office through a parliamentary no-confidence vote in 2022.
Most of his convictions have been suspended or overturned, with appeals still pending.
Khan denies wrongdoing and maintains that the cases are politically motivated, an allegation rejected by the Pakistani government.
His Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party also said a court had directed prison authorities to allow his lawyers to meet him and his wife.
PTI Leader Shah Mehmood Qureshi Also Hospitalised
Meanwhile, PTI deputy chairman and former Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi was transferred from a Lahore prison to a hospital on Tuesday.
Qureshi reportedly experienced dizziness and fell inside his prison barracks, sustaining injuries to his knee and arm.
He remains hospitalised as concerns continue over the medical care provided to imprisoned political leaders.
