Pakistan’s major political party, led by Gohar Ali Khan since 2023
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.
A group of former international cricket captains has written to Pakistan's prime minister urging a court-ordered medical board—including Khan’s own doctors—to assess his health and vision impairment. They call for weekly family visits and timely treatment, saying the process must reflect basic decency and court directions.
