Concerns Raised Over Imran Khan's Health and Treatment During Imprisonment

Concerns Raised Over Imran Khan's Health and Treatment During ImprisonmentPreviousNext

Former Australian cricketer Greg Chappell and 21 ex-international captains have expressed concern over Imran Khan's deteriorating health during his imprisonment in Pakistan. Reports indicate Khan, aged 73, has developed a disability in his right eye and spends much of his time in isolation and darkness. His sons have voiced worries about his medical treatment and mental state. While Pakistan's government asserts Khan is medically fit, appeals continue for humane and thorough medical care amid ongoing legal proceedings.
