Pakistan’s Supreme Court ordered authorities to transfer former Prime Minister Imran Khan to Shifa International Hospital in Islamabad to undergo a comprehensive health evaluation. A three-member bench comprising Justice Shahid Wahid, Justice Naeem Akhtar Afghan, and Justice Ishtiaq Ibrahim issued the directive following a petition filed by Khan’s legal team.
Visitation restrictions : Khan’s sons, Sulaiman and Kasim Khan, stated that family members and independent doctors were denied direct access to visit for 7 months. The apex court ordered prison administration to allow weekly family visits and instructed officials to form a medical board that includes Khan’s personal physician and his sister, Uzma Khan. The Supreme Court instructed Khan’s lawyers and family members not to share detailed medical reports with media outlets or use the findings for political campaigning. Protest activity : The denial of medical access triggered nationwide demonstrations by supporters of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) demanding the release of Khan and his spouse, Bushra Bibi.
