Pakistan's FCC Seeks Records on Imran Khan Hospital Transfer Cases After Inmates' Appeal
Pakistan's Federal Constitutional Court (FCC) has requested records from the Supreme Court and high courts regarding cases linked to the transfer of jailed former Prime Minister Imran Khan to a private hospital. This follows an appeal by three Adiala jail inmates seeking similar treatment, citing the Supreme Court's August order to move Khan to Shifa International Hospital. The Islamabad High Court had dismissed their petitions, ruling prisoners have no right to choose private hospital treatment. The FCC is reviewing these matters under Article 175-E of the Constitution.
