What happened
Imran Khan, who led Pakistan as prime minister until 2022 and has been held in Adiala jail in Rawalpindi, was taken out of the prison and driven to Shifa International Hospital in Islamabad for medical treatment, Pakistani media outlets reported. Security around the transfer was described as heavy. What exactly he is being treated for has not been confirmed by prison authorities or his family, and there is no official statement on how long he is expected to remain in hospital. Khan's health and his conditions in custody have been a recurring source of dispute between his party and the government, with relatives at times complaining about limited access to him. Khan was removed from office in 2022 and has since faced multiple legal cases. He remains one of the most influential political figures in Pakistan, and news about his wellbeing draws large public attention.
Why it matters
Khan still commands a large following, and any sign that his health is deteriorating in custody can quickly trigger protests and political tension in Pakistan. His treatment in prison is also closely watched by rights groups and foreign governments as a test of how the state handles a jailed opposition leader.
What happens next
Attention will turn to whether hospital or prison officials give a formal account of his condition, how long he stays at the hospital, and when he is returned to Adiala jail. His party is likely to press for independent medical access and more information.
