> Pakistan’s PTI has filed a contempt petition against the government, accusing officials of violating a top-court order by taking Imran Khan to a state-run hospital for a brief check-up before returning him to jail instead of transferring him to the ordered private facility. The government says the examination found no condition requiring immediate care, while PTI says Khan should remain under medical supervision until at least mid-September.
