> Former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan has been transferred from Adiala jail to Shifa International Hospital in Islamabad under heavy security after complaining of poor health. The move followed a Supreme Court order requiring him to be examined within 48 hours, including by an eye specialist. Khan’s lawyers say he has several health problems, allegations disputed by the government.
