Concern grows over Imran Khan's health in jail as courts rule on medical access

There is growing public concern in Pakistan about the health of former Prime Minister Imran Khan, who is currently in jail. His son has said Khan has lost most of the vision in his right eye.

Pakistan's Supreme Court has appointed a lawyer, Salman Safdar, as a 'friend of the court' to help ensure Khan gets proper medical care. However, the court rejected a request for an immediate meeting with Khan, and a separate anti-terrorism court denied his plea to be examined by his personal doctors. Authorities have now ordered a medical examination to assess his vision loss claims.
