Pakistan Top Court Orders Ex Pm Imran Khan Be Moved Hospital Jail Local Media 2026 08 18

Pakistan's Supreme Court on Tuesday ordered jailed former Prime Minister Imran Khan transferred from Adiala Jail to Shifa International Hospital within 48 hours, directing that he remain there until a follow-up hearing on Sept. 16. <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.verity.news/story/2023/pakistan-expm-imran-khan-given-year-jail-sentence">Khan was imprisoned in 2023</a>, a year following his ouster, in a series of cases he alleges were politically motivated.

Pakistan's Supreme Court on Tuesday ordered jailed former Prime Minister Imran Khan transferred from Adiala Jail to Shifa International Hospital within 48 hours, directing that he remain there until a follow-up hearing on Sept. 16. Khan was imprisoned in 2023, a year following his ouster, in a series of cases he alleges were politically motivated.

A three-member bench headed by Justice Shahid Waheed ordered the formation of a medical board — comprising an eye specialist, a cardiologist, a general physician, Khan's sister Dr. Uzma Khan and his personal physician Dr. Faisal Sultan — to assess and treat him.

The court noted that Khan's pulse and heart condition were abnormal and that his vital organs had begun to be affected, citing a report submitted by Adiala Jail's superintendent that recorded fluctuating blood pressure and anxiety.

A medical report detailing 39 check-ups since his incarceration stated Khan's blood pressure reached 140/100mmHg and that doctors recommended more frequent contact with his family to reduce his anxiety.

The court directed that Khan's family bear the cost of his hospital treatment and warned that any violation of its directives — including media talks or political activity outside the hospital — could result in the withdrawal of the granted facilities.

Federal Minister for Parliamentary Affairs Tariq Fazal Chaudhary said the government would implement the court's order "in letter and spirit." Previously, Adviser to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif Rana Sanaullah told the Senate that Khan was receiving the best available medical treatment.

Imran Khan's deteriorating health — heart palpitations, skyrocketing blood pressure and severe anxiety — is a direct result of years of unjust isolation that no former leader should endure. Moving him to a hospital is the bare minimum Pakistan owes a man in his 70s who built this nation's cricketing legacy and political conscience. This cycle of political victimization must end now, not get passed down as an acceptable precedent.

The hospital order should not be portrayed as a political victory for Khan or proof that his imprisonment is unjust. The top court's intervention addresses medical treatment, not the convictions keeping him jailed for looting the national treasury and involvement in anti-state activities. Moreover, PTI-approved doctors and specialists with international-level expertise have treated his conditions, according to law and court orders, leaving zero room for claims of medical neglect.
