ISLAMABAD: Preparations have been finalised at Shifa International Hospital in Islamabad to receive incarcerated PTI founder Imran Khan for medical treatment in line with the Supreme Court’s order, 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.
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.
Security pickets have been set up on roads leading to the facility, while a security audit of the hospital was also conducted earlier in view of the possible transfer of the former premier there.
