Granted brief hospital visit?
The Supreme Court ruling was very clear about moving him to a private hospital for a full treatment.
Was convicted on corruption charges?
Was convicted by military for daring to challenge them.
NYT should add a little more nuance to its reporting if it doesn't want to read like a press release from the military regime.
PAKISTAN: Ahead of the third anniversary of former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s ongoing detention, Isabelle Lassee, Amnesty International’s Acting Regional Director for South Asia, said:
“For three years, Pakistan’s authorities have systematically denied Imran Khan the right to a fair trial, subjected him to prolonged solitary confinement, and limited his access to medical care and visitation rights. He has not been allowed to meet his family for more than eight months and his vision has reportedly deteriorated significantly. Both he and his wife, Bushra Bibi Khan, have now been denied regular access to legal counsel since December 2025."

Our demand has been clear from the beginning: Imran Khan has to be examined and treated by specialist doctors in the presence of his personal doctor (Dr. Asim Yousaf) along with a family member present at Shifa International in Islamabad.
The Govt rejected the specialist recommended by our doctors, so they were provided with alternative names. We had given Dr. Uzma Khan’s name to represent our family. We were told that Imran Khan’s sisters will not be permitted and we must provide an alternative name to represent the family. We then gave them our cousin Dr. Nausherwan Burki’s name to represent the family. We are very disturbed when they rejected his name as well.
This is unacceptable! Our concerns are growing as to WHY are they rejecting our family member to be present? Are both names (Dr. Uzma and Dr. Nausherwan) being rejected because they are highly qualified doctors?
Imran Khan, former Captain of World Cup Cricket Champions,former President, rapidly going blind in a Pakistani jail - from neglect. A man who built & funded a first class cancer hospital that charged patients from all over the country ONLY what they could afford for amazing care.
My brother and I are trying to travel to Pakistan to see our father. For 914 days, he has been held in solitary confinement while his health deteriorates and he is denied access to independent medical care.
Now the government is deliberately refusing to process our visas. Denying a prisoner treatment is cruel. Denying his children the right to see him is collective punishment. I call on international human rights organisations and governments to speak out and act before irreversible harm is done.
Former Pakistani prime minister Imran Khan has suffered severe vision loss in prison.
His family and lawyer say he has 15% vision left in his right eye after prison authorities neglected to take action for months.
Pakistani officials have been contacted for comment.
Our lawyers waited all day on Thursday the 12th and all day Friday the 13th, for written court orders from Supreme Court.
The order should have been for Imran Khan to be shifted to Shifa International Hospital. Emergency Orders for his immediate examination and treatment by specialist doctors under supervision of his personal doctors.
Unfortunately the Chief Justice departed on an urgent tour in Punjab. That is the information given to our lawyers as they waited at the Supreme Court. The urgent and pressing matter for our CJP (taking precedence over the extreme urgency to save Imran Khan’s eye sight in his right eye) we are told is to watch the jeep rally in Cholistan. Ofcourse this could be totally fabricated information!
The CJP will be back in office on the 16th Feb. The same date he set as deadline for Imran Khan to be seen by specialists for treatment. Without a court order for the Govt, Imran Khan is certainly not going to receive any emergency medical care. The court order has to wait until the CJP returns to office on Monday from the cholistan jeep rally!
Since CJP didn't give a court order for Imran Khan’s treatment, people will have to support us to ensure there is enough pressure on the Govt, so they will allow him to be treated at Shifa International Hospital.
#KhanNeedsUrgentTreatment
A detailed report by the “Amicus Curiae” appointed by the Supreme Court of Pakistan on the health and prison conditions of arbitrarily detained former Prime Minister of Pakistan Imran Khan reveals disturbing details of serious human rights violations, inhumane treatment, psychological torture, and deliberate medical neglect, which has resulted in 85% vision loss in his right eye. Here are some highlights from the report:
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.
Last night, I posted on Imran Khan’s health in prison and the tweet has got a huge response. BUT here is my question: why haven’t cricketers/sportspersons in Pakistan and around the world spoken out loudly in one voice for Imran’s safety? We mix politics and cricket on the wrong issues; why don’t the stars speak in solidarity for one of their own? Itna sannata kyon? 😡
Our father lived in Pakistan - away from us - for most of our lives. Not because he had to, but because he chose to stand up against a corrupt regime. While he wasn’t there every day as a father, Pakistan had him as a leader. He gave his country everything: hospitals, universities, and a movement for justice.
He’s been offered the chance to spend the rest of his days in comfort - going on walks or playing cricket with us in England. Instead, he chooses to remain locked away in a dark prison cell.
His sacrifice is for Pakistan.
His strength comes from its people.
Ex-Pak PM Imran Khan ‘loses 85% vision’ in right eye
Lawyer meets Khan, submits a report on his jail conditions to the Supreme Court
Pak top court orders a team of doctors to examine Khan
@ShreyaOpines has more in this
We have been informed that my father, Imran Khan, has lost most of the vision in his right eye, with reports indicating only 15% eyesight remains. This is the direct consequence of 922 days of solitary confinement, medical neglect (denied blood tests) and the deliberate denial of proper treatment in jail.
The responsibility lies squarely with the regime in power, the Army Chief and the puppets enabling this cruelty. This physical deterioration is happening under their orders, their watch and their responsibility. They have manipulated and warped the justice system in order to keep my father in solitary confinement.
My brother and I are still being denied visas to see our father as his health deteriorates. History will record this injustice.
We urge human rights bodies, legal institutions and democratic nations to confront this persecution and ensure those responsible face consequences.
