Imran Khan’s Worsening Vision Raises Alarm Over Prison Conditions

                                           Pakistan's former Prime Minister Imran Khan 


Former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan is reportedly suffering a severe decline in his eyesight while serving his prison sentence, with doctors noting an 85% loss of vision in his right eye. His legal team says the deterioration has been gradual but significant, leaving him with only partial sight and increasing difficulty reading or recognizing objects at a distance.

Khan, who has been incarcerated since 2023 on corruption-related convictions, has long argued that the charges were politically motivated. His lawyers now claim that inadequate medical attention in prison has contributed to his worsening condition, prompting renewed calls for an independent medical evaluation.

The development has intensified concerns among his supporters and family members, who fear that his health is being compromised behind bars. Pakistan’s judiciary has been urged to ensure he receives proper treatment as questions grow about the conditions under which the 73‑year‑old opposition leader is being held.
