PTI seeks contempt ruling after Imran Khan's hospital transfer defies court order

Pakistan's PTI has filed a contempt petition against the government after authorities moved jailed former prime minister Imran Khan to a state-run hospital instead of the private Shifa International Hospital ordered by the Supreme Court; the petition seeks Khan’s transfer to the private facility and access to his personal physician, arguing the action violated court directives, while officials say the medical check at PIMS found no urgent issues, prompting protests and plans for further action ahead of a planned September 27 demonstration.
