Pakistan’s top court orders that former prime minister Imran Khan, who is serving time in prison, be moved to a hospital due to health concerns, according to reports.
Khan, 73, is a former cricketer turned politician. He has been in jail since August 2023 after being convicted in multiple cases. Both outlets describe him as insisting that the convictions are politically motivated and connected to his removal from office in 2022. The reports frame the court’s decision primarily as a response to his medical condition while he remains incarcerated.
ABC Australia notes that Khan has been jailed for about three years and says the move is linked to health issues. NDTV similarly highlights his age, detention since August 2023, and the broader legal context described by Khan, while emphasizing the top court’s direction to arrange hospital care. Neither outlet provides detailed medical information or specifies the hospital’s location in the excerpts provided.
