SC orders hospital transfer for jailed Imran Khan as family visits resume after nine months

Pakistan’s Supreme Court ordered the transfer of jailed former prime minister Imran Khan to Shifa International Hospital and allowed weekly meetings with his family after medical boards flagged health concerns, as his sister Noreen Niazi visited him after about nine months at Adiala Jail; meetings with his wife were also held, with PTI agreeing to court-imposed limits on political activity around the hospital. Khan remains in custody, serving a 17-year Toshakhana-II sentence, as additional legal proceedings continue.
