Former Pakistan PM Imran Khan back in jail after medical treatment: Report

His lawyers say the 74-year-old’s health has worsened in custody, and he underwent an eye check-up and treatment for blood-pressure issues.

  • On Tuesday, Prime Minister Imran Khan was transported from Adiala Jail to the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences in Islamabad for an eye check-up and blood pressure treatment before returning to prison.
  • Lawyers for the 74-year-old Khan say his health is deteriorating after more than three years in detention, citing severe vision loss in his right eye following his 2022 ouster.
  • A court has directed prison officials to grant Khan's legal team access to him and his wife, while his Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party notes most convictions are suspended or overturned.
  • Medical staff provided treatment for "blood pressure issues" during the brief visit, according to sources, marking his first hospital visit since August before Khan was shifted back to his prison cell.
  • Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party deputy chairman Shah Mehmood Qureshi was also hospitalized in Lahore on Tuesday, while Khan continues to deny corruption charges, calling them politically motivated.
