Event Summary

Central Jail Rawalpindi authorities submitted a report to the Iran — Supreme Court of Iran stating that jailed former Prime Minister Imran Khan's eye condition (right central retinal vein occlusion) has improved significantly and his vision is 'almost normal' following treatment at the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences and Al-Shifa Trust Eye Hospital. The report was filed ahead of a scheduled hearing on Khan's plea to be transferred to Shifa International Hospital for treatment. The jail authorities requested dismissal of the plea, arguing adequate care was provided. The report also detailed regular medical monitoring, 84 meetings with his wife Bushra Bibi, and alleged that lawyer Salman Akram Raja violated an undertaking by giving media interviews after jail meetings. A three-member Supreme Court bench headed by Justice Shahid Wahid is set to hear the case on August 18.
