Pakistani government will challenge Imran Khan’s hospital move

# Pakistan’s government is challenging a Supreme Court order to move jailed former prime minister Imran Khan to a private hospital for medical treatment. The court ordered the 73-year-old to be transferred from Adiala prison to Shifa International Hospital in Islamabad within two days, amid concerns over his deteriorating health. The government says the decision goes beyond the law, arguing convicted prisoners should receive treatment in jail or at a public hospital. Khan’s lawyers say he has suffered significant vision loss in his right eye.
