A leaked Pakistani diplomatic cable has reignited controversy surrounding the removal of former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan, with his supporters claiming the document supports allegations of US involvement in his ouster.
Investigative outlet Drop Site published what it described as the original classified “cypher” repeatedly referenced by Khan as proof of a foreign conspiracy against his government.
The document reportedly details a meeting between Pakistan’s then ambassador to Washington and senior US State Department official Donald Lu shortly before Khan was removed through a no-confidence vote in April 2022.

“The judges in this country should be ashamed of themselves. Time and time again we have gone to the judiciary. But they have sold their souls for their paid personal privileges. They have sold their integrity. They know they cannot break me, so they turn to my wife. How they can allow this inhumane treatment to Bushra BiBi, simply to blackmail me. She spends 24 hours a day in isolation, except for 30 minutes with me per week - and even that is often ignored. It is unislamic to harm women, children and the elderly - and their motives are plain and clear. The judges are responsible for the justice in a society. They should be ashamed of themselves.”

The Government of Pakistan has decided to move former Prime Minister Imran Khan to a hospital for medical treatment.
Pakistan’s Minister for Parliamentary Affairs, Tariq Fazal Chaudhry, has urged members of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party not to politicize Khan’s health condition.
The development comes as PTI and the Tehreek-e-Tahafuz-e-Ayin-e-Pakistan (TTAP) have been staging a sit-in in Islamabad for the past two days, demanding that Khan be immediately moved to a hospital for treatment.
Earlier, PTI said that Khan has lost approximately 85 percent of the vision in his right eye.

It is 3:40pm on Friday, 13th February, nearly 30 hours after the jail visit report was presented before the Supreme Court of Pakistan. Yet, no orders have been issued for Imran Khan to be shifted to Shifa International Hospital, Islamabad for examination and treatment by specialist doctors under the supervision of his personal medical team.
This is a clear conspiracy on the part of the government. We do not want Imran Khan to be treated at Al Shifa Rawalpindi. We have repeatedly and unequivocally stated that Imran Khan must be treated at Shifa International Hospital Islamabad, the facility where the identified specialists are based. The decision has been made by his personal doctors, and any examination or treatment must take place there, under the direct supervision of his personal medical team and Dr. Uzma Khan.
There are serious concerns that he may be forcefully moved in the middle of the night to Al Shifa Eye Hospital, Rawalpindi without informing his family or his personal doctors. Afterwards, it may be falsely claimed that Imran Khan himself requested to be taken there. The reality is that he may not even be aware of this hospital’s existence. This is not acceptable as we have zero trust in those who are responsible for intentionally allowing his eye to deteriorate.
