SRINAGAR: Former Pakistan prime minister Imran Khan was taken to hospital for an eye examination and treatment before being shifted back to prison, Reuters reported on Wednesday, citing officials.
The former cricketer-turned-politician has been undergoing treatment since January this year after complaining of vision loss in his right eye.
Khan has been in prison since 2023 and faces more than 100 cases, including corruption charges and allegations of inciting violence. He has faced multiple corruption cases since being removed from power through a no-confidence vote in April 2022.
All but one of his convictions have been suspended or overturned, with appeals pending. Khan denies wrongdoing and maintains that the cases against him are politically motivated, a charge the government denies.
He served as Pakistan’s prime minister from 2018 until April 2022, when he was removed from office following a no-confidence motion in Parliament.
