Pakistan's Government Defies Supreme Court on Khan's Medical Transfer

Pakistan's government ignored a Supreme Court order to move jailed former PM Imran Khan, 73, to private Shifa International Hospital. Officials sent him to state-run PIMS on August 21, declared him fit, and returned him to jail without his personal physician. The information minister cited security risks. Khan's PTI party filed a contempt petition — a legal challenge for violating a court order — against the prime minister and two ministers.
