> Former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan was taken back to prison early Friday after doctors at an Islamabad hospital judged him medically fit. The Supreme Court had ordered the cricketer-turned-politician to be examined at a specified private hospital within 48 hours after concerns were raised about his health. It was his most significant court-ordered relief since his imprisonment in 2023 on corruption charges.
