Pakistani faith healer and politician, wife of former PM Imran Khan
Amid court cases and protests, Imran Khan’s party faces renewed scrutiny. Amnesty International and UN bodies have raised concerns over prolonged detention and access to legal counsel, as Khan and his wife face years in prison on multiple charges. Meanwhile, a Pakistani politician’s arrest and UK bail conditions amplify cross-border tensions.
The Supreme Court has ordered Pakistan's former prime minister Imran Khan to be transferred to Shifa International Hospital in Islamabad for examination within 48 hours, provoking security measures outside the hospital. Khan and his wife were sentenced to 17 years in prison last year, and protests have followed his detention since 2023.
Imran Khan remains in solitary confinement as health concerns escalate; his UK-based sons say authorities have denied visas and that a court-ordered medical evaluation was bypassed. Khan has been in prison since 2023, with international observers calling for humane treatment while the government maintains health improvements.
