Binance News - According to the BBC, former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan was taken from Adiala jail to Shifa International Hospital in Islamabad under heavy security after complaining of poor health. The move followed a Supreme Court ruling that ordered the cricketer-turned-politician to be examined by physicians within 48 hours. Khan has been jailed since 2023 on corruption charges, which he says were politically motivated, and his lawyers said he has suffered from several health problems, including poor eyesight. Judges said an eye specialist would be involved in his treatment, and they warned supporters not to gather outside the hospital because that would breach the court order.
