Imran Khan is left with only 15% vision in right eye, says lawyer
Imran Khan, the former Prime Minister of Pakistan, is reported to have only 15% vision remaining in his right eye, according to his lawyer, Advocate Salman Safdar. Safdar, who serves as amicus curiae appointed by the Pakistani Supreme Court, visited Khan at Rawalpindi’s Adiala jail on February 10. During this visit, he compiled a detailed report outlining Khan's health condition and living circumstances within the prison. This alarming update on Khan's deteriorating health has raised concerns among his supporters and the broader public, particularly regarding the treatment of political figures in custody. Khan has faced numerous legal challenges since being ousted from power, and his current health situation adds another layer of urgency to the ongoing political crisis in Pakistan. As the country grapples with significant political instability and economic challenges, Khan's well-being has become a focal point for discussions about the treatment of political dissenters and the judicial system in Pakistan.
