Photos: FileThe government on Thursday downplayed concerns raised by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) over former prime minister Imran Khan’s eye treatment as a “non-issue” while the party wrote to international human rights bodies over its founder’s alleged jail treatment. Imran has been imprisoned since August 2023, currently serving a sentence at Adiala Jail in a £190 million corruption case. Information Minister Attaullah Tarar confirmed earlier today that the former prime minister was briefly taken to the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) for medical treatment. He accused PTI and its supporters of attempting to politicise the issue, despite Khan’s consent for the treatment. The letter, addressed to organisations including the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and the International Commission of Jurists, alleged "sustained breaches of constitutional guarantees, due process and international custodial standards".
