- Attaullah Tarar confirmed imprisoned former prime minister Imran Khan was examined by doctors at Rawalpindi's Adiala prison before a 20-minute eye procedure at a government hospital in Rawalpindi on Saturday.

- Following online reports, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf spokesman Zulfiquar Bukhari called the handling 'opaque and alarming' and said Khan's family and legal team received no verifiable details about his treatment.
- Khan's continued popularity means Zulfiquar Bukhari urged human rights organizations to monitor his treatment and demanded immediate family access amid warnings of irreversible harm from Kasim's diagnosis.
- Khan has not been seen in public since his 2023 arrest, and Suhail Afridi said he is trying to meet Khan as authorities recently restricted meetings amid tensions with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and the Pakistan military.
