Pakistan opposition continues sit-in outside parliament over ex-PM Khan’s eye treatment

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s opposition alliance is continuing its sit-in outside the Parliament House in Islamabad for the second day on Saturday, seeking shifting of jailed former prime minister Imran Khan to a private hospital for treatment of his worsening eye condition. The protest follows a rare prison visit earlier this week by Barrister Salman Safdar, appointed as amicus curiae by the Supreme Court to assess Khan’s health and living conditions at Rawalpindi’s Adiala jail. In his report, Safdar highlighted “seriousness” of Khan’s ocular condition and recommended an independent examination.
