Former captains from around the world have urged Pakistan’s government to permit an independent health assessment of Imran Khan, reinstate weekly family visits, and ensure timely medical treatment following a Supreme Court order transferring him to a private hospital. The move follows concerns over his health and treatment since his imprisonment.
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.
Twenty-one former international cricket captains have appealed to Pakistan’s leadership to ensure an independent medical assessment for Imran Khan, allow weekly family visits, and provide treatment as ordered by the Supreme Court. The calls come after Khan’s brief hospital visit and ongoing questions about his health while in custody.
