ISLAMABAD: PTI founder Imran Khan has left Adiala jail and is being moved to Shifa International Hospital in Islamabad, Dawn has learnt.
Imran — imprisoned since Aug 5, 2023, for concealing details of Toshakhana gifts — is serving a 14-year sentence at Rawalpindi’s Adiala jail in a £190 million corruption case, also known as the Al-Qadir Trust case. However, his health has deteriorated over the course of his prison sentence, prompting outcry from members of the party.
Preparations were finalised at the hospital earlier tonight to receive the incarcerated ex-premier for medical treatment in line with the Supreme Court’s order.
Sources close to the development said all relevant departments and authorities, including the capital administration, police, jail officials and Rangers, were present at the hospital to finalise security and other arrangements.
