> Pakistan’s government has filed a review petition challenging the Supreme Court’s order to transfer jailed former Prime Minister Imran Khan from Adiala Jail to a private Islamabad hospital. It argues the court bypassed legal procedures by acting before hearing prison authorities and says a medical board, not the court, should decide whether he receives hospital treatment.
