Pakistan’s imprisoned ex-PM Khan to get medical treatment after reported partial vision loss
Imran Khan faces 85% vision loss in his right eye; Supreme Court orders urgent specialist treatment amid opposition protests demanding family access.
- On Saturday, a Cabinet minister said Imran Khan will receive treatment at a specialized eye facility after a court-ordered evaluation before Feb. 16.
- Earlier this week, Salman Safdar told the court that Imran Khan had lost roughly 85% of vision in his right eye, prompting a judicial review, after Kasim reported only 15% remains.
- Imran's family angrily said they were not consulted before his transfer and demanded his personal physician attend future procedures as Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf supporters staged protests outside Parliament House, Islamabad.
- Officials added that eye super-specialists will examine him, while the Chief Justice of Pakistan Yahya Afridi is overseeing the case, and a new medical report will be issued soon.
- On Feb. 10, the SC appointed Salman Safdar as amicus curiae to meet Imran and file a report, with opposition leaders announcing a Parliament sit-in until medical demands are met.
